Stacy Keach will portray the role of former president Richard Nixon and Alan Cox will play David Frost in the national tour of Peter Morgan’s Frost/Nixon, which will launch in Fall 2008.
As on Broadway and in London, where the show originated, the production will be directed by Michael Grandage, with sets and costumes by Christopher Oram, lighting by Neil Austin, original music and sound by Adam Cork, and video design by Jon Driscoll. Additional casting will be announced.
Frost/Nixon, which garnered a 2007 Tony Award nomination for Best Play, takes audiences into the minds of Richard Nixon and David Frost and shows the determination, conviction and lengths that these two men, and their closest confidantes, went to as they took the stage in one of the most hard fought political interviews in history.
Keach received a Tony Award nomination for Indians and last appeared on Broadway in The Kentucky Cycle. He is the winner of four Drama Desk and three Obie Awards for his New York stage work, which also includes Hamlet, Long Day’s Journey Into Night, and MacBird. Cox appeared in the 2007 Broadway revival of Translations and the HBO miniseries John Adams.
