OVERVIEW
A revealing portrait of one of the most iconic, influential and fascinating men of our time.
American Premiere with Malcolm McDowell
The legendary Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) channels legendary British bad boy Kenneth Tynan in this irreverent and painfully honest play fashioned from the diaries of the infamous theatre critic, writer and self-professed hedonist.
Once employed by Laurence Olivier as the literary manager of Great Britain’s renowned National Theatre, Tynan created the hugely successful towel-dropping musical Oh, Calcutta and took great pride in being the first to say the “F” word on BBC-TV. Will the play be as controversial as the man himself?
Eat, drink and be social
The Lounge opens one hour before show time, serving drinks and eats from Culver City's culinary stars. Step into the Lounge after the show to hear our resident DJ's spin the coolest grooves and join the cast and crew for cocktails and conversation. When the applause dies down, your night continues at Culver City's hottest late-night spot. Open late nights Thu-Sat.
Note: FREE covered parking at Culver City Hall, after 6pm weeknights, all day weekends. Enter on Duquesne Ave.
