Overview
- Producers announced on July 10, 2026 that Jesse Tyler Ferguson will reprise his Truman Capote in Jay Presson Allen’s Tru for a limited run at the Menier Chocolate Factory.
- The engagement will begin previews on September 19, open officially on September 27, and run through November 14, with priority ticketing for Menier supporters from July 13 and public sales from July 20.
- Rob Ashford returns as director and Paul Farnsworth is the production designer, preserving the creative approach developed in the New York revival and an earlier staged reading in Tangier.
- Tru is a one‑actor play assembled entirely from Capote’s own writings and set in December 1975, presenting an intimate, actor‑driven portrait of the writer in his New York apartment.
- The transfer follows a commercially successful New York run that recouped its investment, and the Menier staging could extend the revival’s audience and further boost interest in small, text‑focused revivals on both sides of the Atlantic.
