 Myrtle Bledsoe, a ninety-year-old Texas widow, looks back 

on the dramatic events that caused a small Southern town,

 and her own relationships, incredible strife. 


This almost-monologue by American master Horton Foote 

is a haunting tale of how men and women, blacks and whites,

 rich and poor are all entangled in the chaos of life.




THE DEAREST OF FRIENDS, it is several months later, and Vonnie is facing the crisis of a husband who is involved with another woman and who wants a divorce. Mabel and her husband, Jack, are sympathetic to Vonnie's plight but, again, cannot bring themselves to face its disturbing implications

—not the stuff of light summer comedy, but as American as apple pie

 in their dark way…” —East Hampton Star

"A Spring Dance"

"The Dearest of Friends"

"The Road to the Graveyard"

                  by Horton Foote


In SPRING DANCE:  Annie is now confined to a sanatorium. She and her fellow patients are scrupulously polite and considerate of each other and, obviously, totally divorced from reality. The asylum culture reflects the larger culture—but here the isolation is total and, sadly irreversible.


THE DEAREST OF FRIENDS: Vonnie is facing the crisis of a husband who is involved with another woman and who wants a divorce. Mabel and her husband, Jack, are sympathetic to Vonnie's plight but, again, cannot bring themselves to face its disturbing implications.


THE ROAD TO THE GRAVEYARD: A haunting, eloquent short play which captures the anguish and ennui of a Texas family facing the inexorable disintegration of their way of life which is soon to be lost completely in the coming turmoil of World War II.
