A feel-good holiday reminiscence by the author of one of the most harrowing crime books of all time, In Cold Blood, Truman Capote is well-known for writing poignant fiction and short stories, like Breakfast at Tiffanyâs. His autobiographical short stories, A Thanksgiving Memory and A Christmas Memory, recall Capote as an orphaned youth in the rural South during the 1930s living with a slightly dotty but loving âcousin.â
A television version of A Christmas Memory, starring Geraldine Page, won an Emmy Award when it aired in 1966.
The Stray Kats performance stars Mark Basile, Florence Phillips, and Katie Sparer.
