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.

Could have done without the gay acting (the 1st kiss was in character - the 2nd etc. was out of line).

Other than that, it was a great show. Very humorous, very active, and a great way to start the weekend.

Description

By popular demand The Maverick is bringing back for the third time The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (ABRIDGED).
