Episode 039: Best of Enemies by James Graham Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: James Graham The Play Podcast is a podcast dedicated to exploring the greatest new and classic plays. In each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We discuss the play’s origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. James Graham's new play Best of Enemies re-enacts the explosive TV debates between American political pundits Gore Vidal and William F Buckley from 1968, and in so doing turns the lens on the corrosive nature of political discourse in our media today. The Playwright James Graham joins us to talk about his fascinating new play.
