Looks like Terry Teachout loves Horton Foote's Orphans' Home Cycle!

"Horton Foote, who died in March at the age of 92, had to wait until the very end of his life to win general recognition as one of America's greatest playwrights. Would that Foote could have lived to attend the New York opening of the first part of "The Orphans' Home Cycle," co-produced by Signature and Connecticut's Hartford Stage. It will, I suspect, be remembered as the most significant theatrical event of the season, the kind of show you tell your grandchildren you saw. Many of these shows will sell out -- some already have -- so make haste to purchase tickets for the full cycle."

And so does Michael Kuchwara from AP:

"If Part 1 of "The Orphans' Home Cycle" is any indication, we are in for a remarkable journey. It appears Foote, who died earlier this year at the age of 92, couldn't have had a better legacy."
