Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Captivating Portrayal of Truman Capote

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, celebrated for his role in 'Modern Family' and recent theatrical success in 'Twelfth Night,' is set to mesmerize audiences as Truman Capote in 'Tru.' The production, opening on March 19, offers a unique opportunity to witness Ferguson's interpretation of the literary giant in a setting that promises both intimacy and grandeur.

An Exclusive Sneak Peek at the 'Tru' Production

These exclusive photographs not only showcase Ferguson in character but also provide a rare glimpse of the production's exquisite venue: the House of the Redeemer. This historic New York City landmark, once the residence of a Cornelius Vanderbilt descendant, provides a fitting backdrop with its opulent and secluded library, enhancing the immersive experience of the play.

Delving into Truman Capote's Moment of Crisis

Penned by Jay Presson Allen and directed by Rob Ashford, 'Tru' transports viewers to December 1975, finding Truman Capote isolated in his New York apartment. The narrative explores a pivotal moment in his life, as he grapples with the fallout from his most contentious literary work, which alienated him from the elite social circles he once cherished. The play, constructed entirely from Capote's own writings, promises a poignant and humorous examination of an artist confronting his personal and professional unraveling.
