What would you do for an Oscar?
Actor/Filmmaker Nick Cohen relives his desperate Hollywood years - a tragicomic true-life Sunset Boulevard.
Nick flees South London and his dysfunctional family to live as a permanent guest in Hollywood with a double Oscar-winner; a man who worked regularly with Orson Welles, promising to get Nick’s film nominated if he follows exact instructions.
'Life with Oscar' upends La La Land in a confessional rollercoaster ride through its dark, twisted underbelly; aptly premiered, at Underbelly, Edinburgh fringe before transferring Off-West End to the Arcola Theatre in London.
