Enjoy live theater at the Lincoln with Valley Players’ production of Horton Foote’s The Old Friends. The remaining members of two longtime Texas farming families await a visit from the matriarch’s son and his wife. But when she arrives alone with alarming news, old friends on opposing sides must confront the issues surrounding legacy, loyalty, and the meaning of happiness that have hounded them for generations.
“…this is Foote as unapologetic potboiler, half-Chekhov, half-Dallas, and great gooey gobs of grim Suhthun’ fun.” —New York Magazine.
“…endearing monsters…It’s impossible to look away.” —Variety.
Horton Foote’s success has been attributed to his honest examination of the human condition. His central themes of the sense of belonging and longing for home have resonated with audiences for decades. THE OLD FRIENDS is an absorbing and vital chapter in Foote’s beloved and distinctly American body of work.
