The play is Frost/Nixon. The story we're doing is a father and son playing opposite one another in the title roles. Ted Watts Sr. and Ted Watts Jr. will transform themselves into Frost and Nixon in front of an audience tonight at the Academy Theatre in Meadville. The poster for the show was this split face of Frost and Nixon. Normally I'm not overly keen on making a page one feature story into an illustration, but this one intrigued me a little because it was a father and son(and maybe because it was my idea and not someone else's who was then asking me to make an illustration--funny how that works.) The images I would've been able to get were the dress rehearsal run through--so it would be a news feature story using acting photos--I had hoped to get the actors working with the director or some such thing, but they were way past that. It was the final run through dress rehearsal ---last chance to fine tune. I like to split faces like this--i often do it in camera, but this was different and I was suprised to see the resemblance that came through by putting the dad and son together. I might try this with my own dad now to see if I do in fact look anything like him---I know I got his sense of humor and ability to laugh even when the jokes aren't really funny--but is there any resemblance. My guess is I look more like mom--only hairier ha ha! Meadville Tribune illustration by Richard Sayer.
