Editorial Reviews

NY Post

Here is a simple, immensely satisfying play, crafted with elegance, alive with feeling, holding a mirror up if not to nature, at least to the next best thing, our concept of nature. Not to be missed.

NY Newsday

The shimmering pleasures of THE YOUNG MAN FROM ATLANTA sneaks up on you...[the play] seduces us with rich accumulation of textures...Foote...ladles on character and period nuances with a density unparalleled in any living playwright.

NY Times

THE YOUNG MAN FROM ATLANTA doesn't soothe or lift any hearts. It's tough, one of Mr. Foote's most serious and scathing works.

Variety

Horton Foote is an American original...[a] longtime chronicler of comings and going in fictional Harrison, Texas. Sometimes maddening, this is...a beautifully wrought and very moving play.
