Redtwist Theatre's FROST/NIXON Opens April 21

Redtwist Theatre presents Frost/Nixon by Peter Morgan, and directed by Scott Weinstein, featuring Redtwist company member & Jeff Award-winner Brian Parry as Richard Nixon. The show opens Saturday, April 21, 2018, at 3pm (this is also the press opening) and runs Thu, Fri, Sat at 7:30pm; Sun at 3pm, through Sun, May 20.

The dashing Brit playboy checkmates the disgraced president into admitting that he not only broke the law, but was still in abject denial that he did anything wrong. These watershed 1977 interviews sealed the legacy of both men, and established Nixon as a modern-day punchline for abuse of power.
