The Melbourne Theatre Company present Peter Morgan’s broadway hit Frost/Nixon, from 23 May to 5 July, at The Arts Centre, Melbourne.
On 9 August 1974, Richard Nixon gave a final wave to the world before flying off into ignominy and exile, leaving the crucial questions about Watergate unanswered. All the top political journalists in America wanted to ask them, but the man who got the exclusive interview was David Frost.
James Reston, Jr was David Frost’s Watergate advisor for the interviews, and The Conviction of Richard Nixon is his intimate, behind-the-scenes account of his involvement. In the book Reston explains how a British journalist of waning consequence drove the famously wily and formidable Richard Nixon to say, in an apparent personal epiphany, ‘I have impeached myself’.
Don’t miss out on Frost/Nixon. Call the Melbourne Theatre Company to book on 1300 723 038, or online
