The Ballad of Truman Capote
Performed to a sold out audience in Edinburgh Aug '23, future plans are in the pipeline. Watch this space!
The Plaza Hotel, New York, 28 November 1966.
Truman Capote, literary star and author of Breakfast at Tiffany’s and In Cold Blood, is hosting his famous Black and White Ball. With the Vietnam War ongoing, the writer brings Washington power-brokers, Hollywood stars, society hostesses, fashion editors and pop artists, poets and musical celebrities to the party of the century.
One hour before the ball begins, Capote holes up in his room for an hour.
The Ballad of Truman Capote is the resulting monologue, a tragi-comical memory play depicting the highs and lows of the invented life, and the price of fame.
