True Love

One of the now-forgotten giants of 20th-century Broadway and film, celebrated Pulitzer Prize winning writer John Patrick (Teahouse of the August Moon, The Hasty Heart, Suzy Wong, Three Coins In The Fountain, Love Is A Many Splendored Thing, Some Came Running, High Society, etc.) and his life partner Bill Myers (of the Myers rum family) met in Hollywood after World War II and lived together for over forty years. In their eighties they broke up their relationship and each died tragically alone.

Now a new play — True Love — explores their funny, contentious and frequently brutal relationship, their glittering circle of intimates and their eventual painful estrangement.

Set at Fortuna Mill Estate in the Virgin Islands, Patrick’s palatial hilltop estate, the two-man "dramady" is the work of writer/actor Walter Williamson who plays Patrick with Larry Thomlinson who plays Myers.
