Peter Morgan's Tony Award-nominated play that spawned the critically acclaimed 2006 film pits jet-setting British TV talk-show host David Frost against disgraced former president Richard Nixon in a battle of wits and wills. Desperate to regain his slipped standing as a serious journalist, Frost seeks to elicit from the Watergate-plagued Nixon a detailed explanation and apology, while the ever-political former president has his own agenda. This fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the famous 1977 series of interviews dissects the electrifying battle between Nixon and Frost, revealing both mens insecurities, ego and sense of dignity as they face off in a historic encounter that ultimately changes them both.

Description
What the New York Post called “The funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off returns to the stage at The Maverick Theater. Michael Frayn's (Copenhagen, Democracy) critically acclaimed play-within-a-play follows a theatrical company's desperate attempt to perform their own farce, "Nothing On." The show begins watching a thoroughly unprepared final dress rehearsal, and continues through two more nights of performances seen from both on-stage and back-stage. The actors create a first-rate farce of their own--forgetting lines, dropping trousers, and losing countless plates of sardines. Behind the scenes, love triangles and ruined affairs add fury and revenge to the mayhem under the lights, leading to pratfalls, flying props and more than one bloody nose. In the end, at the frenetic final performance, the two farces merge into one perfectly ravaged and wholly uproarious theatrical nervous breakdown.
Directed by Maverick co-owner Nathan Makaryk who also manages the improv troupe Improv Shmimprov, which has successfully entertained O.C. audiences every weekend for the last 3 and half years. The entire show is staged on a two story set that rotates 180 degrees between acts. Performed on the Maverick’s Main Stage; audiences will find themselves so close to the action they might smell the Sardines.
