From the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Crimes of the Heart comes this poignant but unromanticized story of the hard lives of pioneers on the high plains of Wyoming in the 1860's. Macon and Bess are two mail-order brides, lured to the West by the promise of new beginnings through marriage to men they’ve never met. While waiting for their respective husbands-to-be, one bubbling with optimism, the other mousy and plain, the two women become instant best friends. As Abundance follows the two women through their friendship and adventures for the next 25 years, this Western epic unearths the dark underside of American mythology. A full-cast production featuring: Ed Begley Jr., Gary Cole, Amy Madigan, Steven Weber, JoBeth Williams
a real treat...

Abundance
Those who know Beth Henley from her play (and the subsequent movie) Crimes of the Heart will get something darker with her play Abundance, set in the Old West. I listened to the dramatized version by LA Theatre Works, starring JoBeth William as Macon Hill Curtis and Amy Madigan as Bess Johnson Flann.
Two mail-order brides head to Wyoming in the 1860s, and both discover that their new lives aren't what they were expected. You won't get any of romanticization as in Sarah, Plain and Tall, but you'll enjoy a tale ' marked with equal parts humor, pathos, and grit ' of two women trying to make the best of their situations and their relationship over the ensuing 25 years.
