IN THE RACE FOR POWER THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE WINNER
Martin Shaw leads the cast in the UK premiere of The Best Man. Gore Vidal’s award-winning political thriller about the race for the White House goes on sale to Sheffield Theatre members on Sat 15 July and on general sale on Wed 19 July.
Vidal’s drama of dirty politics has never seemed more real or relevant. At a time of political chaos,The Best Man mirrors the often surprising results of campaigning and the unscrupulous world of politics.
Two opposing presidential party candidates are neck and neck in an unscrupulous battle for the nomination. The only thing that separates the esteemed ex-Secretary of State and his newcomer populist opponent is an endorsement from a respected ex-President. But where does compromise end and corruption begin? And who in the end will be proven to be ‘the best man’?
The Best Man is directed by Simon Evans and goes on sale to members at 10.00am on Sat 15 July and on general sale at 10.00am on Wed 19 July. The Best Man is at the Lyceum Theatre from Mon 23 October – Sat 28 October.
