About
Plot
Ethan Hawke plays Lorenz Hart, the witty and troubled lyricist of songs such as “Blue Moon”, at Sardi's on the opening night of Oklahoma! in 1943. That show was the first hit Richard Rodgers wrote without him. Hawke and Richard Linklater have worked together for three decades, going back to the Before trilogy. The script is by novelist Robert Kaplow.
