Book Reviews of Crimes of the Heart
Book Review: Will keep you interested until the end
Summary: 4 Stars
Enjoyed CRIMES OF THE HEART, a play that won the 1981 Pulitzer
Prize for drama.
It was very well performed by L.A. Theatre Works, a company that
has done several other plays that I've enjoyed over the years.
This one is about three rather eccentric sisters from a small
Southern town . . . scandal erupts when Babe, the youngest,
shoots her husband . . . how it all ends is what keeps you
interested in what's happening.
Glenn Heady and Sondra Locke are particularly fine in
two of the main roles . . . and that's why I usually like these
productions so much; i.e., unlike typical books on tape (or CD)
that feature one or two actors, every L.A. Theatre Works has
several different actors for all the key parts.
Summary of Crimes of the Heart
The reunion of the McGrath sisters in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, is joyful but troubling. Lenny is still unmarried at 30, Meg is recovering from a failed singing career. Babe is out on bail for shooting her husband, and a young lawyer tries to keep her out of jail without falling in love with her. Beth Henley blends comedy and pathos in this Chekhovian story of the sometimes frayed edges of sisterly bonds.Drama Books
