"ENTERTAINING!
Sharp-witted…smartly staged"
--The Washington Post
 
"POWERFUL!
Absorbing and cunningly entertaining"
--The Washington Times
 
"SLEEKLY POLISHED!
The production gets its dramatic heft from Stacy Keach's sturdy work as Nixon. As Frost, Alan Cox projects…charm, vigor and intelligence."
--Houston Chronicle

"Rich, multi-layered…cleverly constructed. Keach is powerful as Nixon. Cox captures all the insouciance, suavity, and street smarts of the amiable Frost."
--The Examiner

Frost/Nixon, written by Peter Morgan--the writer of the award-winning films The Queen and The Last King of Scotland--tackles the question: How did David Frost, a famous British talk-show host with a playboy reputation, elicit the apology that the rest of the world was waiting to hear from former President Richard Nixon? With a cast of 10 led by Golden Globe winner Stacy Keach, this fast-paced production was nominated for three 2007 Tony Awards including Best New Play. Directed by Olivier Award winner Michael Grandage, Frost/Nixon chillingly recounts one of the most monumental television interviews of all time.  Performance Time:  2 hours, without intermission
