Overview: An intriguing insight into the face off between television host David Frost and disgraced president Richard Nixon, based on the play by Peter Morgan. It's a interesting score, weaving around a battle of minds between the two combatents.
Highlights: I watched a preview in a theatre in Sherman Oaks where it dawned on me that as a Brit I'd veiwed the entire process from the point of view of David Frost, whereas the LA audience were far more familiar with the other guy in the ring with him. It was interesting to see the reaction from another perspective. Musically Hans' score was in the process of fine tuning when I arrived, although that seemed to be ongoing even as I left! My involvement was more to do with adding a little colour here and there, atmosphere and tension. I got my hands on a copy of the Watergate Tapes too, it seemed a shame not to meddle with history...
