Tonight: Nixon’s Nixon
The Hammner Theater presents two comedies about saying good-bye:
Nixon’s Nixon by Russell Lees
On August 7, 1974, the night before becoming the first and only American president to resign, Richard Nixon met with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at the White House. There are no tapes of *this* meeting. In Russell Lees’ political satire, Nixon has not yet decided to resign, and both men are determined to secure their place in history. They drink, they talk…
‘Mr Lees’ play flashes with humor…as hilarious as it is hair-raising.’
(Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times)
Directed by Marcello Rollando, with Chris Patrick and Chris Baumer.
Showing in rep with
All is Always Now, by Robert Wray
Robert Wray’s comedy about actors and acting, loss and moving on was developed, in part, at the Hamner’s VPI workshop. Elements of Shakespeare, Melville and Chekhov combine to create a story about a group of theater friends who gather together for one last night in New York.
Directed by Peter Coy, with Kevin O’Donnell, Chris Patrick, Anya Scott and Ryan Wender.
Performances will be held Weds. – Sat. at 7:30 p.m., Sun. at 2:00 p.m.
Admission $10.
