Crimes of the Heart

By Beth Henley

Bright Young Theatre Productions

Babe Magrath has just shot her husband. She was aiming for his heart, but to her dismay, she got him in the stomach. The Magrath women are once again making front page news in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, to the exasperation of their bossy cousin Chick. As the Magraths reunite to deal with their newest tragedy, their secrets start bubbling to the surface. With as much humour as pathos, Beth Henley weaves a beautiful portrait of three unconventional sisters and the love that unites them.

Written over 30 years ago, the awards winning Crimes of the Heart still stands out as one of the most nuanced and heart-wrenching depictions of sisterhood ever written for the stage.
