The Andy Warhol Diaries - 2016 - BBC Audio Drama
------------------------------------------------


Andy Warhol's acclaimed diaries brought to life in four 15 minute dramas, adapted by Sean Grundy and starring Scott Capurro as Andy Warhol. Also starring Ronni Ancona, Jon Culshaw and Kerry Shale.

Beginning in the fall of 1976, America's most famous artist Andy Warhol talked to his secretary by phone at 9:00 AM, every Monday to Friday morning, for ten years. He would talk about the events of the previous day, and his office would transcribe his monologues into diary pages.

Everyone who is anyone in New York from 1976 to 1987 is in Warhol's diary - from Mick Jagger to Donald Trump.

The diary began as a careful recording of his use of money, from phone calls to nickels for bag-ladies to cab rides (lots of cab rides), but quickly evolved into Warhol's personal observations. It was posthumously published in 1989 - a condensed version of Andy's more-than-20,000 page, phoned-in audit/diary.

The episodes follow four key themes, using four people in Andy's life from 76-87 - homeless Crazy Matty, Warhol's boyfriend Jon Gould, writer Truman Capote and artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Woven into this world are buddies Mick and Bianca Jagger, Jerry Hall, Liza Minnelli and Donald Trump. Nobody escapes his sharp tongue.
