Winner! 1990 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding One-Person Show Adapted from the words and works of Truman Capote, "Tru" takes place in the writer's New York City apartment during the week before Christmas 1975. An excerpt from Capote's infamous novel "Answered Prayers" has recently been published in "Esquire" and the author's friends, recognizing the characters as thinly veiled versions of themselves, have turned their back on the man they once considered a close confidant. Alone and hurting, Capote soothes himself with pills, alcohol, and chocolate truffles while musing about his checkered life and career.
