The Truman Capote Talk Show is a one-person theatre piece presented by Richard Jordan Productions in association with Pleasance, performed at the Attic, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Bob Kingdom plays the brilliant, adorable and infamous writer of In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany's, staging a late-night talk show from the character's perspective. The production blends biographical detail with Capote's own celebrated one-liners to create a portrait that is glitzy, bitchy, chic and, ultimately, heartbreaking. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A portrait of a singular literary figure delivered through a brilliantly constructed theatrical form — the talk show — allowing both performance and personality to shine. Kingdom's stage presence is the whole event.
