It’s safe to say, that few recollections involve high-end clothing, artisanal cocktails, and spa treatments. But the new 02134, once called a “student ghetto,” now mixes local mainstays with Boston’s hot shopping and dining.

Discussion with the Cast of Frost/Nixon

By buniverse ()

In 1976, British talk show host David Frost conducted 11 in-depth interviews with disgraced former U.S. President Richard M. Nixon. Those televised talks formed the basis for Peter Morgan's acclaimed 2006 play Frost/Nixon. The lead actors from the [...]current national stage tour, Stacy Keach (Nixon) and Alan Cox (Frost), are joined by Robert Zelnick, a College of Communication journalism professor, who was executive editor for the historic interviews. Actor Bob Ari, who plays Zelnick, participates as well. The panel participants discuss their research for roles, the tragedy of Nixon's personality, the influence of reviews and critics, and the conflation of history and entertainment.

Hosted by College of Communication on January 29, 2009.
