“ ‘I can now die,’ one muses to oneself during the final bows, ‘without ever needing to see that play again. For I won’t ever see it done better.’"
-Chicago Tribune
"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”
“Lois Smith gives... the most achingly beautiful performance of her long and distinguished career.”
-Chicago Sun-Times
Horton Foote’s tender, heartfelt study focuses on Carrie Watts, who dreams of returning to her childhood home in the small town of Bountiful, Texas, which she left three decades ago. She sets out to fulfill her dream, with results that are both heartbreaking and brilliantly life-affirming. Actor/director Harris Yulin recreates his off-Broadway triumph, featuring a luminous performance by Obie Award-winner Lois Smith. The Trip to Bountiful runs approximately two hours without intermission.
