The Lives They Led, Portrayed Onstage
New York Times: "THE success of “Frost/Nixon” this past spring could bode well for the current theater season, assuming it has left audiences hungry for history plays about the realization of certain media dreams. The forthcoming calendar seems distinguished by its fixation on invention: the challenges of creativity and the psychological steps journalists, activists and social theorists take to accomplish their work."

It doesn't surprise me that "Frost/Nixon" is leading to so many more historical plays coming to Broadway, and it doesn't surprise me that most of them take place during the 1960s-1970s, just like "Frost/Nixon". It seems that a lot of people are linking today's political state to that time period, so this could be why so many of these plays are coming out.
