George Clooney will take his talents to Broadway next spring, with his reps announcing Tuesday that he’ll be performing in a stage adaptation of his 2005 film about journalist Edward R. Murrow.
The play will carry the same name as the film, Good Night, and Good Luck, which Clooney wrote along with Grant Heslov. It will be the first time Clooney, 63, will perform on Broadway.
An announcement said Clooney will play the part of Murrow as he butts heads with CBS executives and attempts to deliver critical reports on former U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy’s anti-communist crusade at the heart of the Cold War.
