Frost/Nixon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frost/Nixon is a play by the British screenwriter and dramatist Peter Morgan. Its subject is the series of televised interviews that the disgraced Richard Nixon granted David Frost in 1977 and that ended with a tacit admission of guilt regarding his role in the Watergate scandal.
The play premiered at the Donmar Warehouse theatre in London in August 2006. Directed by Michael Grandage, and starring Michael Sheen as the talk-show host and Frank Langella as the former president, Frost/Nixon received enthusiastic reviews in the British press. It is currently playing at the Gielgud Theatre in London's West End.
The play will open on Broadway in the Spring of 2007. Ron Howard will direct a film adaptation, which will go into production at the end of 2007.[1]
