Work Description
This volume brings together seventeen one-act plays by the distinguished American playwright and screenwriter Horton Foote. Like his acclaimed Orphans' Home Cycle, these one-act plays are about the men and women of Harrison, Texas, a quiet farming town turned bedroom community to neighboring Houston. Harrison is a place in transition, where the old ways are fast being replaced by a new order whose values are money and professional success. Against this backdrop of change, Horton Foote tells tales of grief and rebirth, despair and healing, going away and coming home. - Back cover.
