Horton Foote’s Tony Award-nominated dark comedic masterpiece 'Dividing the Estate' arrived at the Booth Theatre in 2008, running for a triumphant 65 performances after an acclaimed run at Primary Stages. The textually rich narrative unfolds in 1987 inside a grand, decaying estate in Harrison, Texas, tracking the eccentric, fiercely prideful Gordon clan as they descend into a savage, cold-blooded familial warfare over their multi-million dollar real estate inheritance when a looming economic recession threatens to bankrupt their family empire. Directed with flawless precision by Michael Wilson, the powerhouse production starred Elizabeth Ashley, Hallie Foote, and Arthur French.
