Horton Foote’s darkly comic
portrait of a family divided. It’s 1987 in Harrison,
Texas, and the Gordons have fallen on hard times, what with
the ‘80s oil bust. Mama’s dead set against splitting
up the 100-year old estate, but her children have other plans
as they gather round the dining table to squabble about their
righteous share of the pie. Will this life of ease and entitlement
soon be coming to an end?
