About Tru
Tru by Jay Presson Allen stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Truman Capote, author of such noted novels as Breakfast at Tiffany’s and In Cold Blood.
Set in his New York apartment in December 1975, following the publication of an excerpt from his tell-all novel Answered Prayers – which alienated him from his high-society friends – the play depicts him alone, reflecting on his life, career and the fallout from the book, while dealing with his loneliness, addiction and his complex relationships.
A sell-out success in New York, Jesse Tyler Ferguson is now bringing his remarkable incarnation of Truman Capote to London audiences.
Starring Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), and directed by Award-winner Rob Ashford, Tru comes to the Menier for a strictly limited season.
Presented in association with Seaview, OHenry Productions, and Mickey Liddell & Pete Shilaimon
TRU opens at the Menier Chocolate Factory on 26 September, with previews from 19 September, and runs until 14 November 2026.
