'Good Night, and Good Luck' penultimate performance: See cast, how to watch play live
In the words of George Clooney's Edward R. Murrow: "There are a certain kind of people wired a certain kind of way, who know there's a story behind the story if you're bold enough to search for it."
The 64-year-old Academy Award-winning actor says this line in the trailer for the Broadway play, "Good Night, and Good Luck," which CNN will be airing and streaming the production's penultimate performance this weekend.
According to CNN, the "Good Night, and Good Luck" plot tells the "gripping true story of journalist Edward R. Murrow's legendary showdown" against U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy. The play is based on the 2929 Entertainment and participant film of the same name, distributed by Warner Bros., and co-written by Clooney and Grant Heslov, the outlet says. The film was released in 2005 and featured Clooney and actors Robert Downey Jr and Jeff Daniels.
CNN will air the performance of the five-time Tony-nominated play live for one night only. The performance airs one night before the Great White Way's annual awards show.
Here's how to watch and stream the play.
