ROCKLAND — David Harewood (Homeland) and Zachary Quinto (Star Trek) play feuding political rivals in the stage production of Best Of Enemies, presented as a captured-live screening by National Theatre Live. Showtimes at the Strand Theatre are Thursday, June 15, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. 

James Graham’s (Sherwood) multiple award-winning new drama sets the action in 1968 America, as two men fight to become the next president. However, all eyes are on the battle between two others: the cunningly conservative William F. Buckley Jr., and the unruly liberal Gore Vidal. During a new nightly television format, they debate the moral landscape of a shattered nation. As beliefs are challenged and slurs slung, a new frontier in American politics is opening and television news is about to be transformed forever.

Jeremy Herrin (All My Sons) directs this political thriller, filmed live in London’s West End. Best Of Enemies was inspired by the documentary by Morgan Neville and Robert Gordon.

Running time is 2 hours 25 minutes, including one intermission.
