Crimes of the Heart will run March 1 and 2 and 6 through 9 at 8 p.m. in the Yulman Theater.
Written by Beth Henley and directed by Lee Rose, the play examines the plight of three young Mississippi sisters betrayed by their passions.
The play is set in Hazlehurst, Miss., where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of their family patriarch, a grandfather who is living out his last hours in a hospital. The eldest, Lenny, unmarried, faces diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, is back in Hazlewood after a failed singing career on the West Coast; Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband. Their troubles are highlighted
by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer trying to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her.
