About this listen
In 1978 Andy Warhol and Truman Capote decided to write a Broadway play. Andy suggested that he record their private conversations over the period of a few months, and that these tapes would be the source material for the play. The tapes were then filed away and forgotten. Their play was never completed.
Now, award-winning director Rob Roth brings their vision to life after a years-long search to unearth the eighty hours of tapes between two of the most daring artists of postwar America. WARHOLCAPOTE, based on words actually spoken by the two men, is set in the ’70s and ’80s, toward the end of their close connection and not too long before their untimely deaths. Their special, complex friendship is captured by Roth with bracing intimacy as they discuss life, love, and art and everything in between. Every word in the play comes directly from these two 20th century geniuses. The structure of the conversations springs from Roth’s imagination.
Critic Reviews
"Stephen Spinella and Dan Butler reprise their 2017 Broadway roles as Andy Warhol and Truman Capote in this funny, touching, and deceptively straightforward dialogue between the famous pair. It is based solely on their private conversations recorded on 59 audio cassettes in the late 1970s to early ‘80s. With a preface read by art critic Blake Gopnik and the fascinating history of the project filled in by author/editor Rob Roth, the two cultural icons gossip about life, love, celebrities, and family. With the stellar performances of Spinella and Butler, backed by Dennis Boutsikaris reading stage directions, we hear an intimate, endearing portrait of two of the most public, most outwardly gay, most outrageous artists of twentieth-century America chatting like the best of friends."
