Is anyone else uncomfortable with nine pre-existing plays being edited together and billed as a new work? I have great respect for Horton Foote, but the idea that he could win a posthumous Pulitzer for this collage doesn't sit well with me. Besides, he was already awarded a Pulitzer in his lifetime (1995-THE YOUNG MAN FROM ATLANTA). Personally, I'd like to see the award go to a new, original work.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
