Starring Jim Brochu as Zero Mostel, Zero Hour is set at
Mostel's West 28th Street painting studio where a naïve reporter
attempts to interview the famously volatile actor, prompting an
explosion of memory, humor, outrage, and juicy backstage lore. It is
July 1977 and the actor is giving his final interview before leaving
for the pre-Broadway tryout of The Merchant in Philadelphia. Mostel
only played one performance as Shylock before his sudden death at the
age of 62.
Zero Hour traces Mostel's early days growing up on the Lower East Side as the son of Orthodox Jewish immigrant parents, through his rise as a stand-up comedian, from the Borscht Belt to Manhattan's most exclusive supper clubs, and from the devastation of the blacklist to his greatest Broadway triumphs, most notably as Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof and working through his love-hate relationship with Jerome Robbins.
