Tru by Jay Presson Allen
February 22 – March 17
Show Times:
Mon - Sat: 8 p.m. / Wed, Sun, Sat: 2 p.m.
Florida Repertory Theatre, Fort Myers River District
Tru is a rare glimpse into the mind of one of
America’s most controversial icons and most famous
authors, Truman Capote. Alone in his New York apartment,
the writer seethes after being shunned by his elite
Manhattan social circle, and regales audiences with
stories from his past. Adapted from Capote’s work and
taken from his own words, this devastating and witty
play is a truthful portrait of a conflicted, complex and
colorful man. Ticket Price: $40. For details visit
www.FloridaRep.org or call 239.332.4488.
