Frank Langella Featured on 'Theater Talk,' May 18

"Theater Talk" will welcome Tony-nominated Frost/Nixon star Frank Langella, Friday, May 18 at 12:30 AM (Saturday morning) on PBS/Thirteen.

Langella is a two-time Tony Award-winner for his work in Fortune's Fool and Seascape. Other Broadway credits include Match, Present Laughter, The Father, Hurlyburly, Dracula and A Cry of Players. He has appeared on film in Good Night, and Good Luck, Sweet November, Lolita, Junior, Masters of the Universe, the 1979 film version of Dracula, Diary of a Mad Housewife and more.

Frost/Nixon opened on Broadway on April 22, 2007 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (242 West 45th Street) after beginning preview performances on March 31. The show, which played London's West End, a sold-out run at the Donmar Warehouse, and the Gielgud Theatre before coming to Broadway, stars Frank Langella as President Richard Nixon and Michael Sheen as Sir David Frost, as well as  Remy Auberjonois (John Birt); Shira Gregory (Evonne Goolagong); Corey Johnson (Jack Brennan); Stephen Kunken (Jim Reston); Stephen Rowe (Swifty Lazar/Mike Wallace); Triney Sandoval (Manolo Sanchez); Armand Schultz (Bob Zelnick); Sonya Walger (Caroline Cushing).

Press notes state, "Frost/Nixon tackles the question: How did David Frost, a famous British talk-show host with a playboy reputation, elicit the apology that the rest of the world was waiting to hear from former President Richard Nixon? The fast-paced new play shows the determination, conviction and cunning of two men as they square off in one of the most monumental political interviews of all time."
