Horton Foote ©1993 Susan Johann

Made up of nine newly adapted plays that Horton Foote finished just before his death, this co-production with Hartford Stage will be a living, breathing tribute to his remarkable life and work. Classical in its breadth and scope, The Orphans' Home Cycle begins with a father's death in a small Texas town at the turn of the century, a loss that sends his son, Horace Robedaux, on an odyssey through the darkest corners of the heart as he learns to become a husband, father and patriarch. Set in Foote's fictitious town of Harrison, Texas, and based partly on the childhood of Foote's father and the courtship and marriage of his parents, the Cycle is a wide-ranging, intricate work.
