The Alchemy once again brings their holiday presentation of Truman Capote’s beloved short story, A CHRISTMAS MEMORY, as a staged reading. Originally published in 1956, this poignant, heart-felt, modern day classic gently captures Mr. Capote’s richly detailed memories of his Depression-era, rural Alabama boyhood with his best friend – an eccentric, 60-something distant cousin with whom he baked fruitcakes each Christmas. The affecting simplicity of TRUMAN CAPOTE’S A CHRISTMAS MEMORY speaks even louder today, making us realize just how chaotic our lives can be if we don’t hold on to some tether of family, love and tradition.
The Alchemy Theatre is at 1510 Toomey Rd, Austin, TX.
