The award-winning play The Trip to Bountiful is returning to Toronto. The play opens January 17 at Alumnae Theatre and runs until February 1.

Horton Foote’s much-loved story focuses on persistent attempts by 80-year-old Carrie Watts to escape from her unhappy family home. Having spent her twilight years with her son and his abusive wife, Carrie plans a getaway to her hometown of Bountiful for a taste of freedom.

Director Brenda Darling says Horton’s play is very much a story for today even though it was written in the 1940s. “It’s about ageism and elder abuse. At the same time, it’s about endurance. At the end you realize that like Carrie Watts, you can do anything, and that’s uplifting.”

The cast features Jane Hunter as Carrie Watts, Kim Croscup as her daughter-in-law and Jamie Johnson as her son. The show is produced by Simone Goldberg.
