"British talk-show host David Frost has become a lowbrow
laughing-stock. Richard M. Nixon has just resigned the United States
presidency in total disgrace over Vietnam and the Watergate scandal.
Determined to resurrect his career, Frost risks everything on a series
of in-depth interviews in order to extract an apology from Nixon. The
cagey Nixon, however, is equally bent on redeeming himself in his
nation's eyes. In the television age, image is king, and both men are
desperate to outtalk and upstage each other as the cameras roll. The
result is the interview that sealed a president's legacy." - Dramatists
"Structured as a prize fight between two starkly ambitious men in professional crisis, FROST/NIXON makes it clear that the competitor who controls the camera reaps the spoils." —NY Times.
"…a thoroughly modern Shakespearean tragedy…Peter Morgan has given us a behind the scenes look at a well-publicized event, and used his imagination to create a riveting entertainment…most notably, the midnight phone call from an inebriated Nixon to Frost that, like a show stopping song in a musical or an outstanding opera aria, has the audience bursting into applause." —CurtainUp.
"…ripe entertainment…The cheerily oblivious limey lightweight and the brooding, mortally wounded political animal: Austin Powers vs. Macbeth." —Washington Post.
"…nails the political, media and cultural fever of that era…" —AisleSay.com.
