Two Revivals, 'Tru' and 'The Fever,' Tackle the Contagion of the Rich

Two monologue revivals, 'Tru' and 'The Fever,' are currently being performed in New York City. The plays, which feature Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Truman Capote and Wallace Shawn in a solo performance, respectively, explore the theme of how wealth warps our perceptions.

The New York Times reports that while both plays have received critical acclaim, only one has been able to pay dividends. 'Tru' has been a commercial success, while 'The Fever' has struggled to find an audience.

The plays are a timely commentary on the current state of wealth and privilege in society. As the rich continue to accumulate wealth and power, the divide between the haves and have-nots grows wider. The plays serve as a reminder of the need for greater economic equality and social justice.

The performances of 'Tru' and 'The Fever' are a must-see for anyone interested in the world of theater and the social commentary it provides.
