THE ORPHAN'S HOME CYCLE PT.2 A REVUE

The good news is that nothing has changed. Part two of The Orphans Home Cycle [subtitled The Story Of A Marriage] is just as magical as the first part. This is the continuation of Horton Foote's nine hour cycle of autobiographical plays about his family. This one deals with the courtship and marriage of his wife, and ends with the birth of their first child,and it tells it's story with the same honesty and beauty that was so evident in the first part.
As usual, Michael Wilson's staging is beautifully conceived and his acting company is first rate from top to bottom.
The last episode of this magical saga will be presented next month. As I said before, The Orphan's Home Cycle is essential viewing for the serious theatregoer. If there are still seats to be had, go at once.
At the SIGNATURE THEATRE CO.____PETER NORTON SPACE 555 WEST 42nd STREET N. Y. C.
