About this event
The Best Man – by Gore Vidal Set in 1960, Gore Vidal’s provocative drama of political infighting is a lucid and engaging dramatization of a behind-the-scenes party power struggle that accompanies a contest for the presidential nomination. What can go wrong when one man holds disproportionate power? The play begins at the eleventh hour, the night before the party convention and catches the characters mid-maneuver as they jockey for advantage and the former president’s endorsement. A sharp, cynical, and entertaining look at American presidential politics, with great dialogue, high stakes moral dilemmas, and insider perspective.
