DIVIDING THE ESTATE/ZACH Theater

A wonderful production of this Horton Foote slice of Texas life last night.  The year is 1987 in small town Texas and the family is feuding over "the estate."  MJ Vandivier is hilarious as the matriarch.  So exciting to see a former acting teacher from State School demonstrate her enormous talent and skill.  Barbara Chisolm is absolutely wonderful as the daughter begging for the $$$$.  And as always Eugene Lee is just perfect as the Parkinson affected 90+ y.o. servant.  I learn more and more about this part of the country every time I see a Horton Foote play.  And as a footnote I just love remembering this play was first staged at Lincoln Center a few years ago.  Mr. Foote's appeal is universal.  We laughed, laughed, laughed.  Highly recommended.
