A Christmas Memory, according to production notes, "is Truman Capote's celebrated holiday classic concerning a young Capote and his eccentric, slightly-retarded cousin, Sook. Set against the colorful backdrop of rural Monroeville, Alabama, the pair experience a number of holiday adventures along with their rat-terrier, Queenie, as they prepare for the season." Geraldine Page starred as Sook in the 1966 TV film version of the book for ABC's Stage 67.
