New Again: Gore Vidal
May 1, 2012
Yesterday, the nominees for the 2012 Tony Awards were announced. Among the plays nominated for “Best Revival” is Gore Vidal’s The Best Man, written by the playwright-author-journalist (ahead of the 21st century multi-hyphenate trend) in 1960. When Interview spoke with Vidal in April of 1976, we discussed, among other things, The Best Man and Vidal’s opinion on the theater in general ( it seems he does not, or did not, “much like plays”).
