You may have seen the 2008 movie starring Michael Sheen and Frank Langella, but this play came first. It’s the gripping, thriller-style true story of the most-watched political interview in history.

US President Richard Nixon resigns amid the fallout of the Watergate scandal in 1974. By 1977, he is living in splendid seclusion in California and has never publicly admitted any guilt or remorse for letting his country down.

Then along comes British playboy talk show host, David Frost, determined to extract a confession from the disgraced statesman over the course of four televised interviews.

Frost and Nixon go head to head in what will become TV’s greatest battle of wills.
