In the first two plays of Foote’s Orphan’s Home Cycle the Robedaux and Vaughn families explore the consequences of love, youthful rebellion, and family values—or lack thereof. Set in Texas in the early 1900s the Vaughn family learns a lesson in raising children when one of their daughters falls in love with a “wild boy” who has a bad reputation. But what happens when children no longer need the approval of their parents? These heavy-hearted comedies will make you question the idea of “true love” from start to finish.
