“CATCO
gave us all something to be thankful for last week when
it brought back A Christmas Memory and The Thanksgiving
Visitor…Taken together, the two works offer a
timely reminder that friendship and acts of kindness,
not huge outlays of cash, are the best building blocks
of holiday spirit.” -- The Other Paper
“Capote’s
language, impeccable cast make CATCO’s holiday
one-acts something to cherish.” -- The Columbus
Dispatch
For decades, readers have
cherished two holiday stories by one of America’s
greatest writers. Truman Capote is famous as the author
of In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany’s,
but his autobiographical stories, A Christmas Memory
and The Thanksgiving Visitor, were his own
personal favorites. These vividly written, heart-warming
and very funny tales recall Capote’s boyhood best
friend, Miss Sook. Seven-year-old Capote, sent to live
with reluctant relatives during the Depression, formed
his closest childhood bond with Sook, an elderly and
somewhat child-like female cousin. Life was always full
of wonder for Miss Sook, who took a bookish, introverted
and sometimes bitter little boy and opened his eyes
to the world around him. Their adventures—wonderfully
chronicled in these stories— will move and delight
your entire family.
