One of America's preeminent dramatists, Horton Foote returns to the
fictional town of Harrison, Texas, with two captivating plays about the
bewildering and unsettling encroachment of change in the American
south.
In a series of haunting dramatic monologues, "The Carpetbagger's
Children" tells the story of three daughters who struggle against the
pressures of modern life to uphold their father's dying wish. It is a
timeless and elegiac portrayal of a once-vibrant family slowly
disintegrating over time.
"The Actor" tells the hilarious and moving story of a young man who'll
make any sacrifice to keep his dream from being crushed under the weight
of his parents' expectations. It's a charming exploration of artistic
ambition from one of modern theater's greatest artists.
