OLD FRIENDS - Tennessee Williams, Gore Vidal, Truman Capote Michael David

It's 1979 and a career-waning Tennessee Williams is visited in his Key West bungalow by longtime contemporaries Gore Vidal and Truman Capote. Both visitors arrive, unexpectedly, to cheer Tenn after his having suffered a month of burglaries, a gay bashing and the murder of his gardener. But neither Gore nor Tru - adversaries in a bitter 30-year feud - anticipated seeing the other. Based on real events, this is a play in which each line is funnier than the last in a night of rivalries, recriminations and revelations - fueled by memories and liquor - as the three titans of literature battle for supremacy.
