It’s 1953 and her days are mostly spent sitting in the living room, which doubles as her bedroom, of her son Ludie’s (Devon Abner) small Houston apartment, looking out the window and watching the traffic race by while singing hymns to comfort herself.
The slow pacing of the early scenes, emphasizing the monotony of Carrie’s home life away from home, gives way to the innocent excitement that comes from her joy in taking a simple bus ride, and is followed by the serenity of accomplishment at the end.
It’s fair to say that not a lot happens in The Trip to Bountiful, but what does happen is rich with good, decent sentiment.

 The Trip to Bountiful: review on TheaterMania.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
It's possible that things have changed too much for some theatergoers to appreciate this conventionally constructed play about a woman fighting to maintain her dignity though forced to live in two Houston rooms with a disappointed son and a harridan daughter-in-law.
Watts (Lois Smith) experiences to return to Bountiful, the small Texas town she lived in for more than half of her life, has caused her kind but weak son Ludie (Devon Abner) and his insensitive wife, Jessie Mae (Hallie Foote), to forbid her escape.
When The Trip to Bountiful debuted on television with Lillian Gish as Carrie and Eva Marie Saint, Eileen Heckart, and John Beal playing the other major roles, it was a mere 56 minutes long and primarily a stunning character study.

 THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL, a CurtainUp review
Each trip has afforded wonderful acting opportunities for the actress playing Carrie -- as well as the actors playing her son Ludie, her daughter-in-law Jessie Mae and the various people she encounters on her desperate journey towards Bountiful and the by-gone pleasures and regrets of her youth.
After a scene that establishes the unhappy family dynamic, Carrie does manage to make her getaway and by the time she's boarded the bus, she's made a new friend, a young army wife named Thelma (played by Meghan Andrews with terrific sensitivity and charm).
Though the trip is doomed by the family's police alert, the sheriff (Jim Demarse) who tracks her down at the bus station 12 miles from Bountiful again exemplifes Foote's penchant for kindly strangers.
