The Magnificent Welles

*** - USA Today, January 2003
This is an excellent program for any theater department. Recommended for academic libraries.
"Both revealing and entertaining, this is a first rate production." - Booklist
"Wolland bears a remarkable resemblance to Welles . . . a genuine tour de force." - Seattle Times.

This acclaimed one-man play charts the spectacular rise and fall of film genius Orson Welles. Marcus Wolland deftly impersonates Welles in this performance that is both a memoir of Welles' breathtaking career and a chronicle of his losing power struggle over The Magnificent Ambersons, the movie that followed Citizen Kane. Opening black and white footage, a great script, various camera angles, occasional special effects and audience reactions add variety to the performance.
