The Best Man

The nomination of a Presidential candidate is looming. Sharp battle lines are drawn. Duking it out are a witty, womanizing liberal and an ambitious, Southern senator. Each has explosive dirt on the other and is threatening to use it "for the good of the country." Sound familiar? It’s actually the fascinating plot of Gore Vidal’s 1960 play, The Best Man – a juicy tale of the backstabbing world of a presidential nomination.

The Waterfront Playhouse kicks-off their 68th season with this fresh, funny and surprisingly relevant story of political intrigue. The Best Man illustrates how little (and how much) things have changed on the political landscape in the last few decades. Even if you’re not politically inclined, this tale of suspense will have you on the edge of your seat.
