Broadway Reviews
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:
"You probably have one in your family. And the odds are that he or she is making a lot of noise right now. I mean the kind of person who, when the going gets tough, is transformed from a respectable-looking grown-up into a greedy, caterwauling 4-year-old, convinced that everyone else is getting a bigger slice of what’s left of the cake."

ASSOCIATED PRESS REVIEW:
"Nothing concentrates the mind like money — or lack of it. And money has provided the plot for more than a few plays, one good example being "Dividing the Estate," Horton Foote's hilariously perceptive take on what good old-fashioned greed does to one cash-strapped Texas family."

USA TODAY REVIEW:
"It's tempting to call Horton Foote's new play, Dividing the Estate, a black comedy. Death is a central figure, and the behavior can seem so petty and callous that you may not know whether to laugh or wince."

AM NEW YORK REVIEW:

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS REVIEW:
"Ham, anyone? It's on the dinner table and at center stage in Horton Foote's "Dividing the Estate," a lighthearted look at a fractious family facing financial straits and - Lord above! - each another."
