Fall Drama: Crimes of the Heart

at the Lauren K. Woods Theatre

Playwright Beth Henley won the 1981 Pulitzer Prize and the NY Drama Critics Circle Award for Best play. A warm and irreverent comedy, Crimes of the Heart tells the story of three Mississippi sisters dealing with a family crisis and personal passions. NY Magazine said of the play, “From time to time, a play comes along that restores one’s faith in our theatre”; the NY Post said it has “heart, wit, and surprisingly zany passion…. It would be a crime…not to see this play!”
