"I have read Capote's In Cold Blood several times through the years. I became highly interested in the period of Capote's life that he spent in Kansas researching In Cold Blood. I became particularly intrigued by Capote's relationship with one of the killer's of the Clutter family as well as the role Harper Lee played in helping Capote with his work, Broemmel explained.
When asked why South Beach is designated as the city to premiere Capote, Broemmel made it clear that he has always loved South Florida. I have great memories of the times I spent in South Florida. Plus, I think the art scene in South Beach provides a perfect backdrop for the premiere of Capote," Broemmel said.
Capote is part of a five play series that Broemmel has been commissioned to create that focuses on the lives of a group of unique and disparate men. The series includes plays about Al Capone, Jeffrey Dahmer, Buffalo Bill Cody, Truman Capote, and Clark Gable. "It's a strange mix of men, but they are all interested for different reasons. I know the least about Bill Cody, although he spent a great deal of time in Colorado, which is my current home," Broemmel said.
