About The Wind Is Us: The Death that Killed Capote

The Wind Is Us by Mike Broemmel chronicles the life of author Truman Capote from his days researching his iconic “non-fiction novel” In Cold Blood until his death in 1984. The play reveals how and why Capote’s life collapsed because of his most-acclaimed work, resulting in his premature tragic death.

The Wind Is Us is a full-length one actor play that seeks to address the tension in Truman Capote’s life between love and fame — that conflict ultimately putting him on a tragic course that would consume and ultimately take his life.
