Foxfire was performed at Stratford, Ontario and Minneapolis before transferring to New York where it was produced at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Broadway. It opened on November 11 1982.

This original play is based upon material from the 'Foxfire' books edited by Eliot Wiggington (published by Doubleday). The play is set in Rabun County, Georgia and tells the story of Annie and Hector Nations.

Hector is dead but through Annie's continuing dialogue with him, we learn of the end of a way-of-life for an Appalachian family. Exploring the events of the past and the realities of the present we see the difficult decisions facing Annie; decisions which will shape her future with her musician son and his family - and her relationship with Hector.

Jessica Tandy won a Tony award for her part in the production. Susan Cooper subsequently adapted the play for the TV Film version.
