STARRING ZACHARY QUINTO (The Boys in the Band, Star Trek, Heroes) makes his London stage debut playing left-wing icon Gore Vidal DAVID HAREWOOD (Homeland, Super Girl, Ten Percent ) reprises his role as the right-wing figurehead William F. Buckley F. Jr
1968 – a year of protest that divided America. As two men fight to become the next President, all eyes are on the battle between two others: the cunningly conservative William F. Buckley Jr., and the iconoclastic liberal Gore Vidal. Beliefs are challenged and slurs slung as these political idols feud nightly in a new television format, debating the moral landscape of a shattered nation.
Little do they know they’re about to open up a new frontier in American politics, and transform television news forever…
JAMES GRAHAM’S work for TV: (Sherwood, Quiz, Brexit: The Uncivil War) and theatre (Ink, This House, Labour of Love) makes him one of the UK’s most exhilarating and celebrated writers and BEST OF ENEMIES reunites him with award-winning director, Jeremy Herrin (People, Places and Things, Wolf Hall Trilogy, This House).
This Young Vic transfer to the Noël Coward Theatre “rushes at the audience like a newshound after a story” (The Observer) and is “the most riveting play in London” (New York Times).
