Buster Keaton on Stage at the Space Arts Centre March 15th – 19th

February 2016 · News

Buster KeatonThe Space Arts Centre presents Buster Keaton at the Hollywood Canteen… as told by Orson Welles, March 15th – 19th.

Mike Carter’s play is based on research of Buster Keaton’s life. Orson Welles often told an anecdote about meeting Keaton in the kitchens of The Hollywood Canteen when the star of silent film was down on his luck. This may have been fiction, Welles being famous for his talent of making up good material. But in a brand new world premiere, Oddservants imagine the meeting between two stars who gained and lost fortunes as they chartered Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Buster Keaton at the Hollywood Canteen is about success, failure, how we judge artists and how they harshly judge themselves. All under the microscope of the movies.
