About the Show

Primary Stages celebrates the centennial of late playwright Horton Foote's birth with a mounting of three interconnected shorts that probe the crises impacting three female friends in 1920s Houston.

In Foote's seriocomic triptych, a trio of women grapples with the eternal question, “Where is home?” This production offers a rare chance to experience a Foote gem not seen on the New York stage in over 25 years. Starring Tony winner Harriet Harris and the playwright's daughter, Hallie Foote, a celebrated interpreter of her late father’s work.

Great acting, Great writing, Resonant, Thoughtful, Wistful

See it if You want strong performances, great writing, and a contemplative story about struggling to find and retain a sense of home and security.

Don't see it if You want theater with lots of action. This is a gently moving play about the lives and concerns of several women in 1920s Texas.

Entertaining, Slightly dated, Refreshing

See it if you don't mind a slow moving play about 3 different Southern women.

Don't see it if you don't want to see mentally disturbed people.

Very horton foote

See it if You like Horton Foote or you like chatty plays. I generally enjoyed it, but I like Horton Foote. It's very much like his other work.

Don't see it if You are expecting plot and action.

Slow, Three scenes with horton foote stock characters, Good acting

See it if you're a Horton Foote completist

Don't see it if you prefer his better work.

Banal, Dated, Disappointing, Slow, Tedious

See it if you love Horton Foote and want to see all of his plays, even the lesser ones. Acting is good. Hallee Foote is perfect in her father's plays

Don't see it if you want an engrossing show.My mind kept wandering. Too many side stories, none of which grabbed me. Harriet Harris was wonderful, as always

Disappointing, Slow

See it if you are a fan of Horton Foote and willing to see anything he wrote. Not his best work but if you are patient, worth the effort.

Don't see it if You expect the best from this important and usually articulate author. If you have no patience for stereotypes offering no new insights.
