Frost/Nixon
Tuesday, April 14, 2009 - Sunday, May 10, 2009

by Peter Morgan
Directed by Rose Riordan

Frost/Nixon centers around a series of televised interviews former president Richard Nixon granted British journalist David Frost in 1977 that ended with a tacit admission of guilt regarding his role in the Watergate scandal. The play premiered at the Donmar Warehouse theater in London in August 2006 and opened on Broadway the following year, bringing instant acclaim for the playwright, Peter Morgan, who is also a noted screenwriter, whose recent credits include The Queen and The Last King of Scotland. The New York production also garnered many important awards, including a Tony Award for Frank Langella for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play for his portrayal of Richard Nixon. The New York Times described the play as "proceed[ing] with the momentum of a ticking-bomb thriller and the zing of a boulevard comedy... Structured as a prize fight between two starkly ambitious men in professional crisis, Frost/Nixon makes it clear that the competitor who controls the camera reaps the spoils."
