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.

First rate. I hadn't seen the movie so I didn't have to compare them. It was very effective and the acting was terrific.

flew in from hnl and made it just in time for the performance. the maverick is a great venue and i was treated to a very well done production. the actors were excellent. they were so good and convincing that i wouldn't be surprised if there was a bus waiting to take them back to the asylum after the show. kudos to everyone involved and a special mahalo to the house for saving me a seat.

Description

Ken Kesey's 1962 novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest took the nation’s reading public by storm. Since its release, it has been translated to several languages and named to Time Magazine’s “Best 100 books of the 20th Century.” The 1963 Broadway play, starring Kirk Douglas, was a dramatic powerhouse, and the 2001 revival, starring Gary Sinise won the Tony Award for best revival of a play. The 1975 film starring Jack Nicholson swept the Oscars winning all five major awards (picture, actor, actress, director, screenplay).

When Randle P. McMurphy fakes insanity and is transferred from a prison work farm to a mental institution, the whole place is turned on its head. Ruled by the cold, iron fist of Nurse Ratched, the hospital’s patients are at her mercy; but McMurphy, a foul mouthed gambler, mocks her authority and stands up for the other patients in the ward. McMurphy serves as a beacon of hope and fairness for the patients. He antagonizes Ratched and the two engage in a power struggle: McMurphy with swagger and a heart of gold,  and Ratched with electro-shock treatment and a willingness to perform lobotomies. Both have a take-no-prisoners plan of attack, and whomever loses, loses everything.
