Quinto said: “Living and working in London has long been an aspiration of mine. But to be making my West End debut in such a thrilling and relevant play amongst such a distinguished creative team far exceeds my expectations of what living and working in London would look like
He also adds that “playing such a scorching and complex character as Gore Vidal” makes him “full of gratitude and excitement”.
“Best of Enemies harkens back to a vital time – when genuine discourse was possible from even the most opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. My hope is that such discourse may be once again rekindled in response to the work itself,” he says.
Zachary Quinto will star in Best of Enemies alongside David Harewood.
