Horton Foote
Author of Dividing The Estate, Primary Stages.
Playwright Horton Foote reflects on his long career, including the traveling tent shows that first inspired his love of theatre; the contrast between his Texas neighbors’ responses to his winning the Oscar and the Pulitzer; Brooks Atkinson and Ben Brantley’s differing opinions on The Trip To Bountiful; his appreciation for theatres like Signature and Primary Stages, for giving him homes for his work; the experience of returning to Broadway with The Young Man From Atlanta after a hiatus of forty years; and how closely his characters model on some of their real-life inspirations.
