At its best moments, The YoungMan from Atlanta manages to be a compassionate and occasionally humorous portrayal of an affluent family's transformation as they come to terms with the truth about the loss of their son.
This mysterious youngman lived with their son, and he reveals truths they may not have wanted to know.
Another big problem with The YoungMan from Atlanta is that it idolizes old age and presents youth and change as evil things.
Perhaps, but the ambiguity of this man's life is the mystery at the center of Horton Foote's 1995 Pulitzer prize-winning play The YoungMan From Atlanta, newly arrived on Broadway.
