Written by Beth Henley, Crimes of the Heart is a funny, sad, uplifting story of sisterly love that takes place in Mississippi a few years after Hurricane Camille. Lenny, the oldest sister and the one that didn’t get away is turning 30. No one remembers, however, because Babe, the youngest sister has shot her husband and is awaiting trial. To complicate things, the patriarch of the family is sick, Old Granddaddy, and Meg, the torch-singing middle sister is back from California to pay her respects. You will laugh and cry along with these true-to-life sisters as they work through their issues together in this drama/comedy that won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1980.
Not recommended for young children.
