Orson Welles Presents: An Evening With Nixon
Written by Finn Gallagher & Nathaniel Klein
Directed by Nathaniel Klein
It’s 1985. Orson Welles, director of Citizen Kane, is nearing the end of his life. He has renounced the Hollywood machine and returned to his roots in the theatre, where he will put on a grand magic show and “channel” the spirit of Richard Nixon. But to his own amazement, Welles actually summons the former President — despite the fact that Nixon is not yet dead. What follows is a battle for the stage between two giants of history, and the two men who find themselves nearly swallowed by their own shadows.
