Synopsis

The Best Man crackles with the smart lines and situations inherent to the
work of Gore Vidal. The political intrigues rampant in Vidal's 1960
setting are strangely similar to the political intrigues of the present
day. This darkly satirical drama finds two presidential contenders seeking
the endorsement of an aging ex-president and explores how personal agendas
can change the course of a nation's destiny.
