The three Magrath sisters have gathered in Hazelhurst, Mississippi, where they await news of the family patriarch, who's living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny is unmarried at 30 and her marital prospects are bleak. Meg's lamenting a failed singing career. Meanwhile, Babe is out on bail after having shot her husband. Their troubles are grave and yet, somehow, hilarious. Warm-hearted and irreverent, this 1981 Pulitzer Prize- and New York Drama Critics Circle Award-winning show teems with humanity and humor as it examines the plight of three young sisters betrayed by their passions. Watch as Crimes of the Heart dissects this dysfunctional Southern family at Lamplighters Theatre in La Mesa.
