Description

Michael White just might be the most famous person you’ve never heard of. The London theatre and film impresario produced more than 200 shows and movies over the past 50 years including Oh! Calcutta!, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. He irrevocably shaped London’s cultural scene in the 70s, introducing Merce Cunningham, Pina Bausch and Yoko Ono to London audiences. Known for surrounding himself with iconic figures, White (now in his seventies) continues to be the life of the party. Filmmaker Gracie Otto introduces viewers to this larger-than-life phenomenon through interviews with White and 50 of his closest friends including Kate Moss, Anna Wintour, John Cleese, Naomi Watts, John Waters, Richard O’Brien and Barry Humphries. The Last Impresario is a vibrant tribute to a creative nurturer, collaborator and fascinating entertainer.
