Playhouse On The Square Presents FROST/NIXON, 3/19-4/3

By: BWW News Desk Mar. 10, 2010

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. This Tony Award-winning play was hailed as "a thoroughly modern Shakespearean tragedy." -CurtainUp.

Directed by Guest Artist Rob Satterlee, FROST/NIXON stars Guest Artist Michael Ingersoll, direct from the Chicago company of Jersey Boys, as David Frost, and Memphis favorite Bill Andrews as Richard Nixon. The show also features Resident Company Member Michael Detroit, Associate Company Members Hannah Dowdy, Bryan Robinson, and John Tyberghein), and Memphis favorites George Dudley, Meg Geer, Maya Robinson, Michael Towle, and Sam Weakley.
