Critically acclaimed drama 'The Trip to Bountiful' at the Goodman Theatre on April 10, 2008

Submitted by HollywoodChicago.com on April 7, 2008 - 5:57pm.

When the Chicago Tribune says “I can now die without ever needing to see that play again for I won’t ever see it done better,” it’s a mouthful indeed.

The words serve a telling testament to playwright Horton Foote’s work entitled “The Trip to Bountiful”. He has racked up – oh – only two Academy Awards, one Pulitzer and one Emmy.

His off-Broadway triumph, which boasts Obie Award winner Lois Smith, tells the story of an elderly woman who escapes the oppressive incarceration of a city apartment she divides with others.
