Actor and filmmaker Nick Cohen relives his desperate
Hollywood years.
Nick flees South London to live as a permanent guest on Sunset Boulevard with a double
Oscar-winner, a man who worked regularly with Orson Welles, who promises to get Nick’s
film nominated, provided he follows exact instructions...
Life with Oscar upends Hollywood in a confessional rollercoaster ride through its dark,
twisted underbelly.
Life With Oscar comes to Ealing for one night only as part of its tour of the UK and USA,
having previously performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, Arcola Theatre, Philadelphia Fringe
and many more.
