On May 29, 1758, the largest fleet of ships ever to set sail from Halifax left the harbour and headed north. This British armada, comprised of 150 ships carrying over 27,000 men, was bound for the French Fortress of Louisbourg to lay siege. The campaign lasted two months before British forces achieved their first major victory of the Seven Years War, a victory that would change the world, and Halifax forever.

Neptune Theatre presents "Frost/Nixon"
October 21, 2008
- November 16, 2008
Frost/Nixon by Peter Morgan.
When a disgraced American President and a playboy British talk show host sit down for a series of televised interviews the world is watching. But what the skilled reporter elicits is unexpected- and history is made.
From the writer of acclaimed films such as The Queen and The Last King of Scotland, comes Frost/Nixon, an engrossing tale of the pivotal 1977 discussions between Richard Nixon and David Frost. This Tony Award-winning Broadway hit masterfully recreates the events leading up to Nixon's monumental admission of remorse.
