In the play by A. M. Dolan, Clapp portrays Frost, a native Californian, as the famed poet "bards around" the country, speaking to thousands at the height of his enduring popularity. The production blends Frost’s poetry, speeches, and conversations to offer a multidimensional portrait of the iconic American writer and four-time Pulitzer-Prize winner. Clapp, perhaps best known for playing detective Greg Medavoy in the12-season TV drama "NYPD Blue," "embodies the poet's joy and mischievous sense of humor," said the Boston Globe. The play is being produced by poet and Frost authority Robert Bernard Hass, executive director of the Robert Frost Society, and Rancho Santa Fe poet and Frost scholar Jim Hurley, associate director of the society. "We are thrilled to join with North Coast Rep to bring this superb production to San Diego for the first time," said Hass. "Those who know and revere Robert Frost will find him again in their midst through Gordon’s impeccable portrayal; others will meet a timeless Frost for the first time and fall for his irresistible mind and charm." The event will mark the latest in a series of recent collaborations by the Frost Society to present the California-born poet's work in three successive artistic genres: poetry, music, and drama The series launched in March 2024 with a four-day celebration of the poet's sesquicentennial year that drew hundreds of Frost lovers to hear ten of America's premier poets, including Pulitzer Prize-winner Tracy K. Smith. The following November, the Society collaborated with the San Diego Master Chorale in its interpretation of Randall Thompson's Frostiana, a composition based on seven of Frost's most beloved poems. The multi-venue events drew an estimated audience of 1,000. "This Verse Business" will run November 3 and 4 at 7:30 p.m. at North Coast Rep: 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, CA 92075.
