Notes
Description
Three plays of courtship and marriage trace the currents of family life back to their source in the struggle of the human spirit.
Description
This is the central volume in Horton Foote's remarkable nine-play Orphans' Home Cycle, in which the author chronicles the evolution of a family -- the strengths that bind its members together and the strains that force them apart -- and the cataclysmic changes in Southern society over twenty-six turbulent years. Beginning in 1902 with the death of the protagonist's father -- a loss that sends twelve-year-old Horace Robedaux on an odyssey to the darkest corners of the heart -- and ending in 1928 with another momentous funeral, Foote traces a lineage of loss and regeneration. Caught in a conflict as old as society itself, Elizabeth Vaughn is at once drawn and propelled toward Horace Robedaux. The proud and wealthy Vaughns frown on their daughter's love for the orphaned clothing salesman, but the revolving mirrors of time turn and turn about, and both the Vaughns and the newly married Robedauxs are tested not only by their pride but also by the shadows of death and disease, and the more subtle pressures of their family's and their society's future.
