Press Reviews
"A front porch play as only Foote can do it. ”Here, on his own…terms, Mr. Foote has created a gentle answer to Lillian Hellman's chronicles of the Hubbard family,…Like those works, NIGHT SEASONS follows a mercenary, well-to-do family over the decades, while adding up the human casualties of greed and the urge to dominate…Mr. Foote's pace is both calmer and more meandering, spun out of small, quotidian details, his approach to character far more forgiving…NIGHT SEASONS is an examination of the quietly destructive effects of a life defined by bank balances."
