A garden party packed with gossip, intrigue, mystery and music – worthy of Truman Capote himself

Truman Capote revelled in outrage and celebrity – staging parties that would simultaneously delight and scandalise 1960s American high society.

 His guest lists featured Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo, the Bloomingdales, Peter Lawford and Patricia Kennedy, David Niven, Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Hope Lange and many, many more.

 Edinburgh Fringe audiences are invited to don a mask and take part in the world premiere of Garden Party, Truman Capote’s Black and White Celebration – an immersive theatrical experience.  By France-based Kulturscio’k Live Art Collective (correct) and showing until Saturday 9th August. 

 Cast members (from left) Sean O’Callaghan, Lucy Planet, Paul Spera(correct), Alessia Siniscalchi and Didier Leglise are pictured in the University of Edinburgh’s Old College quad.
