Nixon’s Nixon

by Russell Lees

Directed by Rebecca Taylor
(Regional Premiere)

It is the night before President Nixon is to announce his resignation, and he has summoned Henry Kissinger. Nixon is willing to concoct any twisted plot to stay in office. Kissinger wants him to go. As the two of them discuss options, they revisit the climatic events of their administration and impersonate a dazzling array of characters from Breshnev and Mao to Kennedy. This timely political satire features outrageous comedy and a frightening look at the inside of Presidential politics.

“…hilarious as it is hair-raising… both a serious work of the imagination and a fully realized political satire” –New York Times “The laughs come thick and fast throughout …Lee's lively script makes this a thought-provoking, sparkling outing.” –BBC
