Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley engage in a war of words in this award-winning drama about the 1968 US presidential election.
In 1968, with the presidential debate raging, two leading American voices engage in a televised clash over the state of the nation: cunningly conservative William F Buckley Jr., and unruly liberal Gore Vidal. As beliefs are challenged and slurs are slung, a new frontier in American politics is opening and television news is about to be transformed forever.
Jeremy Herrin (All My Sons) directs this blistering political thriller, filmed live in London’s West End and starring David Harewood (Homeland) and Zachary Quinto (Star Trek) in his stage debut.
