Three sisters of The Carpetbagger's Children spin the tale of their family and an era. Their father, the eponymous carpetbagger, was a former Union soldier who used his post as a county treasurer and tax collector to amass a Texas plantation of 20,000 acres. Preserving that plantation through the vicissitudes of their lives becomes a central issue for his daughters. In his theatrically daring play, Horton Foote explores the bonds of family to the land that has shaped their identity, influenced their destiny and, like family itself, undergone dramatic change with the passage of time. Cate Caplin directs.
