But Not For Me

Keith Reddin's examination of the early career of Richard Nixon. Set in a suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel, a paranoid Dick Nixon is an idealistic young congressman who is ambivalent about resorting to a monumentally underhanded ¿dirty trick¿. This was orchestrated by Nixon's conniving campaign official Roy Day against his Democratic opponent, Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas¿the so-called 'Pink Lady'. Nixon's victory launches his career as a politician. A Goodman Theatre co-production.

Directed by Michael Maggio. Recorded before a live audience at the DoubleTree Guest Suites, Chicago in October of 1998.
