Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaThe 2020 Horton Foote Prize has been awarded to Lloyd Suh for his play “The Chinese Lady,” a penetrating drama that looks at racism and the immigrant experience. The biennial prize is named in honor of the late playwright, whose work includes “The Young Man From Atlanta” and “The Trip to Bountiful.” In an interview with Variety, Suh said he is an admirer of Foote’s work and believes that the themes that the playwright explored are particularly resonant in the COVID-19 era.“Horton Foote wrote about resilience, endurance, and fortitude,” said Suh.
