Horton Foote
Courtship
by Horton Foote
Synopsis
THE STORY: As gentle and warm as the spring night in which it takes place, is a mosaic of conversations and encounters that occur during a party at the home of a well-to-do family in Harrison, Texas in 1914.
The Vaughns are substantial, God-fearing
Press Reviews
"Part of the nine-play cycle, The Orphans’ Home, which chronicles the fortunes of the Robedaux family of Harrison, Texas, in the 1900s. This affecting, warmly nostalgic play illuminates the plight of a young Texas belle eager to break free from the restraints imposed by her strait-laced family. ”…a nostalgic story of a girl's growing up in a repressive family environment…written with a sure touch…“ —The New York Times. ”…a gossamer portrait of tremendous young lust set on the porch of a nicely appointed home in 1914 Harrison, Texas."
