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.

Yet another outstanding production at the Maverick. The story was told very well and the set design was such that changes of scenery were unnecessary. First rate acting added to the show. Don't miss this.Written on May 09 2011

This show surpassed any previous expectations that we had. We took our grown children after celebrating our wedding anniversary at dinner and each one of us had nothing but praise for the whole production. The actors were so talented that it seemed they became their role and truly caught us up in the story. We enjoyed the small theater atmosphere where every seat was good and the staff very friendly.Written on Apr 25 2011

I love the book. I really liked the movie. I LOVE THIS adaptation!!!Written on Apr 25 2011
This was such a GREAT production. The actors and actresses were very very good. I found myself lost in the story right off the bat. At first I was a little afraid how they would squeeze all the story into 2 hrs but they did it. The time went by so fast as I was drawn into the vengeance of The Count. I would see this again!! I only regret that the audience was so small. I wished that more people could have experienced such a great production!! Yes, they did receive a standing ovation.

Quotes & Highlights
- “An impeccably solid piece of theatrical work … the whole thing thrilling from swash to buckle.” -- The Wall Street Journal
Description
Based on the epic classic novel by Alexandre Dumas, this translation by Charles Morey -- originally adapted for the Alabama Shakespeare Festival -- artfully shapes the harrowing tale into a captivating night of theater.
Starring Michael Keeney as the Count, the story follows the journey of Edmond Dantes, who is falsely imprisoned by his friends and spends years in prison studying and preparing to bring cold, calculated, insidious revenge upon those who betrayed him. As he gets closer to his goals, he finds that he is losing the little humanity he has left, and seeks to understand the nature of revenge and forgiveness amidst the nefarious schemes he has set into motion. Director Nathan Makaryk weaves the story together with a powerful ensemble cast, an ambitious scenic design, a compelling score, and captivating sword combat.
