THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL
March 8, 2014  | By David Bianculli

Lifetime, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Horton Foote’s wonderful play was adapted in a Broadway revival starring Cicely Tyson and Vanessa Williams, and Tyson won a Tony for her role as the matriarch who wants to visit her family home one last time before she dies. Both Tyson and Williams reprise their roles here, and though the tone is slightly different for TV – more subdued, a bit less play-to-the-rafters comic – it’s a fine representation of both the play and the revival’s lead performances. Blair Underwood co-stars.
