THE ORPHANS' HOME CYCLE PT.1 A REVUE

With the arrival of part one of The Orphan's Home Cycle the theatre season takes on a lusture that probably wont be matched any time soon. The late playwright Horton Foote took nine of his autobiographical plays and adapted them into a three part event lasting almost nine hours spread out over three evenings, and the first part[under the sub title The Story Of A Childhood] is beautifully told and stunningly presented.
It covers the author,s lonley childhood in Harrison Texas at the turn of the century, his father's death, and ends with hs move to Houston ten years later.
Director Michael Wilson's staging is stunningly effective and the large cast offers the best example of ensemble playing you are likely to see this or any other season.
With parts two and three coming up over the next two months and the whole cycle scheduled through the spring, The Orphan's Home Cycle is shaping up as the event of the year. This is theatre at it's magical best,memorable and unmissable.
