Frost/Nixon is set three years after Richard Nixon resigned from the Presidency in disgrace. Throughout those three years Nixon remained silent. But in the summer of 1977 the former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for an interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency.
Nixon selected David Frost as his interviewer, confident that he would outwit the lightweight British talk show host. But as cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted. Would Nixon evade questions of his role in one of the nation's greatest disgraces? Or would Frost confound critics and elicit a confession from the man who'd built a career out of stonewalling?
Austin Playhouse’s production stars David Stahl as David Frost and Michael Stuart as Richard Nixon. They are joined by a powerful ensemble including Ken Bradley, Huck Huckaby, Scotty Roberts, Benjamin Summers, Lara Toner, Ben Wolfe, Rachel Dendy, and Christopher Loveless.
Frost/Nixon is directed by Don Toner with lighting design by Don Day, sound design by the Gunn Brothers, and costume design by Glenda Barnes.
