SUMMARY:Frost/Nixon
DESCRIPTION:April 12-21. $25-$30. Landmark Center.\nFollowing Richard Nixon’s fall from grace\, resignation from the Presidency\, and subsequent pardon\, the American people are left searching for answers. The truth the nation so desperately needs may come in the most unlikely place – a “puff piece” interview with lowbrow British talk show host David Frost. The two titans meet in a surprising battle of words and wits. ​ \nTHEATREX is performing FROST/NIXON in a historic courtroom at Landmark Center\, a former federal courthouse. This gives the audience a front row seat to one of the most pivotal stories in American politics. Richard Nixon never got his day in court to answer for his crimes. We thought we’d change that.​ \n  \nLearn more and tickets at landmarkcenter.org/history-play.
