May 3, 2014, Saturday - Crimes of the Heart Opens at Guthrie Theater

Time: 7:30pm

Location: Guthrie Theater, 818 Second Street South

by Beth Henley
directed by Marcela Lorca

In this deeply touching Southern Gothic screwball comedy, three young Mississippi sisters gather in their hometown to await news of their hospitalized grandfather. With troubles in life and with the law, the Magrath sisters navigate their pasts to seize the future in an imaginative and touching story for which Henley won the Pulitzer Prize and New York Drama Critics Circle Award (and which also became an Academy Award-nominated film starring Diane Keaton, Jessica Lange and Sissy Spacek). The New York Post noted, “It has heart, wit and a surprisingly zany passion that must carry all before it … it would certainly be a crime for anyone interested in theater to not see this play.”
