Tribute (play)

Tribute (play)

"Tribute" is a play by Bernard Slade.

The plot focuses on Scottie Templeton, a popular actor who has spent his life shirking responsibility. When he discovers he is terminally ill with leukemia, he attempts to reconnect with his long-estranged son.

After four previews, the Broadway production, directed by Arthur Storch, opened on June 1, 1978 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre where, with Jack Lemmon in the lead role, it ran for 212 performances. The cast included Robert Picardo, Catherine Hicks, and Rosemary Prinz.

Lemmon was nominated for both a Tony and a Drama Desk Award for his performance.

In 1980, Slade adapted his play for a feature film directed by Bob Clark in which Lemmon recreated the lead role. The supporting cast included Robby Benson, Lee Remick, Colleen Dewhurst, John Marley, and Kim Cattrall. Lemmon was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor.
