Peterborough Players to Screen Award Winning Film CAPOTE

On Tuesday, May 15 at 6:30pm, the Peterborough Players, in partnership with the Peterborough Community Theatre, present a special screening of the award-winning film, CAPOTE starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Truman Capote) and Catherine Keener (Harper Lee), at the Peterborough Community Theatre.

As a pre-cursor to their 85th Summer Season, the screening is an opportunity to talk with members of the Players about the film and look ahead to their summer season's opening play TRU: From the words and works of Truman Capote which opens on June 20.

CAPOTE tells the story of how, in 1959, a shocking murder of a small town Kansas family captures the imagination of Truman Capote (Philip Seymour Hoffman), famed author of Breakfast at Tiffany's. With his childhood friend Harper Lee (Catherine Keener), writer of the soon-to-be published To Kill a Mockingbird, Capote sets out to investigate, winning over the locals despite his flamboyant appearance and style. When he forms a bond with the killers and their execution date nears, the writing of In Cold Blood, a book that will change the course of American Literature, takes a drastic toll on Capote, changing him in ways he never imagined. Stellar performances from Hoffman and Keener, as well as Academy Award winner Chris Cooper.
