Horton Foote was a prolific playwright. The Old Friends is actually a sequel to his second full-length play, Only the Heart first produced in 1942. It took nearly 20 years to get the first exploratory production of TOF, and another 20 before Signature Theatre produced a reading. This 2002 event inspired Mr. Foote to write the version currently on stage at the Signature.
