Theater
- Tru will be performed at Hatbox Theatre from Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. One of the most prolific writers of the 20th century who happened to also be one its most complex personalities, Truman Capote was considered a transcendent star whose dalliances and extravagant lifestyle were only matched by his writing and flair for the dramatic. Tru is a one-man play adapted from the words and works of Truman Capote, and takes place in the writer’s New York City apartment. Hurting after being spurned by his closest friends, Capote soothes himself with pills, alcohol and candy while musing about his checkered life and career. Truman’s life through his words spans comedy and tragedy, laughter and tears. Tickets are $12, $14 or $17 at hatboxnh.com.
