WARHOL CAPOTE

Oh the stories Andy Warhol and Truman Capote could tell. It turns out they did—together. The famous friends recorded hundreds of hours of conversations in the late 1970s in the hopes of creating a Broadway play that never happened. But Warhol Capote, premiering at the American Repertory Theater Sept. 9, mines those conversations for a new work offering up the pair’s intimate musings on celebrities, Studio 54 scandals and more. The never-before-heard meetings yield “riveting conversation,” says Diane Paulus, the A.R.T.’s Artistic Director. “[It’s] at times hilarious, deeply emotional, and often jaw dropping.” Tony Award-winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening, Hedwig and the Angry Inch) directs. Lookout, Broadway. Tickets from $25, Loeb Drama Center, 64 Brattle St., Cambridge, americanrepertorytheater.org
