“Dear Evan Hansen” by Stephen Chbosky at the Rome Film Fest

Dear Evan Hansen by Stephen Chbosky will be presented as a co-production between the Rome Film Fest and Alice nella città.

Dear Evan Hansen by Stephen Chbosky comes to theatres following the success of the musical by the same name which won six Tony awards. The film tells the story of Evan Hansen, a high-school student afflicted by social phobia. The suicide of one of his classmates, Connor, changed his life: Evan starts to lie, pretending that he was Connor’s close friend, with the aim of changing the negative opinion so many had of Connor. But his tissue of lies soon risks being torn apart.
