Greatly enjoyed the show. Both actors showed amazing depth. Funny and poignant at the same time.

"Nixon's Nixon-Comic Relief in Williamsburg"

My husband and I had the great pleasure of attending the opening-night performance of Nixon's Nixon at the Kimball Theatre in Williamsburg this past Friday evening. Oh my, it was absolutely wonderful. The entire cast consists of two fabulous, professional actors from New York who take on their roles as if they ARE Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger -- It is actually difficult to imagine any other actors playing these roles. And the comedy comes fast and furious -- the one liners, the hysterically funny role playing, the near slapstick. Everyone (regardless of political party) was thoroughly entertained, evidenced by the laughter throughout the performance. The play ended with a well-deserved standing ovation!! Collapse

Although I expected this would be a slam against Nixon and the republican party, it was anything but. It was a peek into the humanity of a man that had reached the zenith of leadership in politics in America and was faced with losing it all. The story is funny and said at the same time. The actors timing of lines is perfect. It is a nonstop, 100 mile an hour trip into one of the most difficult times in "modern presidency". This a must see play. Collapse

My wife and I saw the show Nixon's Nixon Friday night at the Kimball Theatre. It captured our interest, attention and we found ourselves laughing at times and overwhelmed at other times at the American theatrical stage we call "politics". We recommend the show to everyone looking for a fun evening provided by high quality New York stage actors right here in our own backyard. Collapse

I was there last night, at the opening. The pace was terrific . . . it really moved! The two actors played off each other flawlessly. Much of the audience guffawed frequently throughout the one-and-a-half-hour one act. I highly recommend this play! Collapse

I attended the opening night production of Russell Lees play Nixon's Nixon which is playing at the Kimball Theatre and the Williamsburg Libary Theatre. I walked into the theatre, the set was like the press room at The White House. Early 70's music was playing throughout the theatre but it was made to seem like a transitor radio. It really brought the essence of the era to life. The actors appeared on stage and came to life as Nixon and Kissinger. David Carson and Jeff Farber (New York Equity actors) brought the essence of their characters to life. I felt that I was just a fly on the wall watching history or how Russell Lees preceived the possiblity of history portrayed. The play goes fast. All sorts of polictical characters of that time popped up during the performance. I do not want to ruin it for anyone but I laughed and laughed and laughed. Thank you for a wonderful night of live professional theatre. Collapse

I attended this festival both days last year and had a great time! The set-up was great and you couldn't have asked for better weather. It is truly beautiful view of the river while having a great time. I came from Richmond with 6 others and plan to do the same again this year. I learned not to forget the picnic setup though!
