Dividing the Estate

Nominated for a 2009 Tony Award for Best Play, Dividing the Estate is Pulitzer Prize winner Horton Foote’s knowing comedy about family, money and greed.  Living in present day Texas and ruled by octogenarian matriarch Stella, the family must confront their past as they prepare for an uncertain future when their family fortune begins to diminish.  Stella's children debate whether or not they should divide the estate while their mother is still alive in order to ensure themselves financial independence.  Director Michael Wilson, considered the foremost interpreter of Foote’s work, reunites with Dividing the Estate’s Broadway creative team and members of the cast to remount this modern classic.
