Written and performed by Thomas Engel. 1 June 8 p.m., 2 June 8 p.m., 3 June 6 p.m. Venue: Theaterhaus Berlin, Wallstr. 32, 10179 Berlin.

Truman Capote was already a young writer causing an international stir on the American literary scene when he achieved world fame with his bestseller "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (filmed with Audrey Hepburn). His non-fiction novel "In Cold Blood" then catapulted him definitively into the Olympus of the international cultural establishment. His magnificent rise as a man of letters was followed by a no less intense and extroverted life as a fixed star of international high society. TRUMAN CAPOTE: JUST SPLENDID illustrates the breakneck rollercoaster ride of a singular career and a breathless life, oscillating between great art and merciless crises, extreme loneliness and lavish parties with the who's who of the international jet set — the meteoric rise of a literary superstar and the dramatic finale of his abysmal fall.
