On September 27, Primary Stages officially debuted the long-awaited New York premiere of Horton Foote's delightful comedy Dividing the Estate. At the show's after-party at Sarabeth's, the 91-year-old Pulitzer Prize-winner posed with his daughters Hallie -- who gives a brilliant performance as the mercenary Mary Jo Gordon -- and Daisy, a noted playwright herself.
