Set in the 1968 Presidential election, Best of Enemies dramatises public conversations held between conservative intellectual William F Buckley Jr. and liberal writer Gore Vidal. By debating on television, the pair opened up a new path in American politics, but did they want to be in the spotlight?

Jeremy Herrin directs Zachary Quinto as Gore Vidal and David Harewood as William F. Buckley Jr. Read our review of Best of Enemies at the Young Vic.
