Frost/Nixon depicts former President Richard Nixon in his first interview since his resignation following the Watergate scandal and the story of how the historic interview came about and how it played out on television, as British talk-show host David Frost elicits the apology from Nixon that the rest of the world was waiting to hear. In this program with cast members Stacy Keach (Nixon) and Alan Cox (Frost), and history professor James A. Thurber, students get a look into the historic context surrounding this play, and see how history and theater come together to reveal not only the facts but the human and emotional aspects of history (recorded in 2008 at C. D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge, VA).
