“A man should never turn down two things. Sex, and appearing on television."
1968 – a year of protest that divided America. As two men fight to become the next President, all eyes are on the battle between two others: the cunningly conservative William F. Buckley Jr., and the iconoclastic liberal Gore Vidal. Beliefs are challenged and slurs slung as these political idols feud nightly in a new television format, debating the moral landscape of a shattered nation. Little do they know they're about to open up a new frontier in American politics, and transform television news forever…
Best of Enemies is the electric new play by James Graham (Quiz, Labour of Love), directed by Jeremy Herrin, inspired by the documentary by Morgan Neville and Robert Gordon.
This revised and updated edition was published to coincide with the West End transfer to the Noel Coward Theatre in November 2022.

Title:
Review: A memento of the play, which I was fortunate enough to see at the Young Vic. The debate between these two intellectual prima donnas has resonances with where we are today.
