One-Man Show About James Frey, J.T. Leroy To Open Off-Broadway

It was only a matter of time.

Mike Daisey‘s Truth, a one-man monologue about “James Frey, J.T. LeRoy, Oprah, lying, and the struggle to tell the truth,” is set to open tonight in New York.

According to its official description, Truth “follows the fictional and nonfictional self-destruction of A Million Little Pieces author James Frey, the sordid and shocking tale of non-existent, world famous transsexual author J.T. LeRoy, and the mystery of the wildly prolific multiple personalities of Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa.”

We’re not familiar with Pessoa, and monologues aren’t normally our bag, but the poster alone piqued our interest.

Tonight and select dates through November 4 at Ars Nova (511 West 54th Street, $20).
