A recording of a live performance of the Broadway play about two days in the life of Truman Capote during the time of the publication of his controversial story "Answered Prayers" in Esquire magazine in 1975. The one-man show takes place entirely in Capote's condominium in the United Nations Plaza in New York City.
Set during Christmas, Capote talks on the phone to various friends, associates and businesses throughout the play.

This is long overdue for release on DVD. What's wrong with the studios?!
