By Matthew Blank
November 19, 2009
The Signature Theatre Company is presenting the New York premiere of Horton Foote's nine-play Orphans' Home Cycle. Part One, consisting of the first three plays, opens Nov. 19.
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," according to press notes.
Roots in a Parched Ground, Convicts and Lily Dale comprise the first installment of Foote's sprawling, three-part family drama, directed by the playwright's frequent collaborator Michael Wilson. The extended New York engagement will run through March 28, 2010.
