Warholcapote by Rob Roth
An enthralling play based on lost tapes between two cultural giants and friends – Andy Warhol and Truman Capote. Every word in the play comes directly from these two 20th century geniuses. Their special, complex friendship is captured with bracing intimacy as they discuss life, love, and art and everything in between.
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.
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.
