Nixon's Nixon A Political Satire by Russell Lees

Directed by Brandon Smith Starring John Lansch and Josh Morrison

The night before President Nixon is to announce his resignation he summons Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to the Lincoln Sitting Room. Kissinger arrives expecting to find his President preparing to resign but Nixon can't face the lonely aftermath of such a decision; he envisions himself "wandering some hellish golf course, waiting to die." Nostalgic, garrulous and paranoid, Nixon leads his Secretary of State on a journey through the high moments of his administration. He pressures Kissinger into reenacting crucial scenes: Kissinger plays Nixon, Nixon plays Brezhnev, Kissinger plays Kennedy and Mao. In this fictional account of that evening, these two larger-than-life characters wrestle with history as they try to manipulate each other, relive their political triumphs and ultimately, devise a dizzying and doomed plot to keep Nixon in office.
