Taking on the role of President Richard Nixon is celebrated stage and screen actor and icon Stacy Keach (think Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke, one of nearly 200 film and television shows he has appeared in over the past fifty years) and he is joined by Alan Cox as David Frost. How was it that a famous British talk-show host with a playboy reputation was the one to elicit the apology the world was waiting to hear from former U.S. president Richard Nixon? This fast-paced new play shows the determination, conviction and lengths that these two men, and their closest confidantes, went to as they took the stage in one of the most hard-fought political interviews in history.
