Henderson County (Nov 25, 2021) - Truman Capote’s story, "A Christmas Memory," will be presented as a one-man show by actor and theologian E.R. Haire Jr. at the Episcopal Church of St. John in the Wilderness. Due to high demand, two more performances have been added.
The show is free to the public but attendance is limited to 25 people per performance. RSVP is required. Click here to sign up. Face masks covering nose and mouth and physical distancing are required. Temperatures will be taken at the door. A Christmas Memory takes place during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Until he was 10 years old, Truman Capote lived with elderly relatives in a small town in rural Alabama. The story is a frankly autobiographical account of those years, especially of his relationship with one of the elderly cousins, Miss Sook Faulk.
The greatest examples of Capote’s skillfulness as a writer are found among the stories inspired by his early childhood and the relationships he forged growing up in the rural South.
