Horton_Foote is the author and his daughter Hallie_Foote the star of The Courtship. Set in 1915, this minimalist character piece details the courting customs in the small Texas town of Harrison. Hallie, the daughter of a prosperous small-town family, is sought after by travelling salesman William Converse-Roberts, who must prove himself worthy of her hand. The emphasis is on Hallie, who sees marriage as the most expedient means of escaping the tyranny of her father (Michael_Higgins). The Courtship was the first five nostalgic Horton_Foote plays which originally aired on the PBS American_Playhouse series from April 4 to May 1, 1987, under the umbrella title Story of A Marriage.
