Story

What Is the Story of The Orphans’ Home Cycle: The Story of a Marriage?
The second part in a trilogy of nine plays centers on the young adulthood of hero Horace Robedaux, a character based on the father of playwright Horton Foote. Set in a small Texas town, the show consists of three plays, each an hour long: The Widow Claire (set in 1912) presents Horace’s attempt to woo the title character, a beautiful young mother of two spoiled children; Courtship (set in 1916) introduces the relationship between Horace and Elizabeth Vaughn, who fall in love over the objection of her wealthy parents; and Valentine’s Day (set in 1917) shows us what happens to Horace and Elizabeth in the year after she decides to marry him.
