Emmy Award winner and Tony nominee Gordon Clapp will play American poet Robert Frost in A.M. Dolan’s This Verse Business, to run September 15-26 at the Peterborough Players in New Hampshire.

The play is inspired by Frost’s “talks,” which he usually gave in college towns before mixed crowds of students, faculty, and local citizens. These audiences witnessed some of his broadest thinking and humor.

Clapp is perhaps best known for his Emmy Award winning portrayal of Detective Greg Medavoy on NYPD Blue. On Broadway, he received a Tony Award nomination for his performance in Glengarry Glen Ross. As previously reported, he will be appearing in the New Group’s production of Tommy Nohilly’s Blood From a Stone beginning in December.
