Cooped up together in a two-bedroom Houston apartment with her weary middle-aged son and his bossy wife, Carrie Watts longs to get away. Homesick and determined, she sets out on a bus trip pilgrimage back to the small town of Bountiful, Texas, a place precious in her memories, one last time.

“Horton Foote’s ‘The Trip to Bountiful’ is one of the half-dozen greatest American plays … I’ve never been more deeply moved by a theatrical production of any kind.” —The Wall Street Journal
