The Trip to Bountiful
“The Trip to Bountiful,” directed with a delicate and insightful touch by Rachael McDonald at the Domino Theatre, is a poignant journey into memory, loss, and the indefatigable human spirit. Horton Foote’s classic play finds new life in this stirring production, playing from January 18th to February 3rd in Kingston, Ontario.
Carrie Watts, portrayed with a heart-wrenching blend of vulnerability and resolve, anchors the narrative. Her longing to return to Bountiful, Texas, is not just a trip across the state but a deep dive into the past, exploring the landscapes of memory and the changing nature of home. The performance by the actress in this role is a masterclass in subtlety and emotional depth, bringing Carrie’s internal world to the forefront in a way that is both relatable and profound.
