THE SUNY ULSTER THEATRE PROGRAM PRESENTS CRIMES OF THE HEART by Beth Henley
Featuring SUNY Ulster students and directed by Stephen Balantzian, Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Theatre. Quimby Theater
The three MaGrath sisters are back together in their hometown of Hazelhurst, Mississippi for the first time in a decade. Lenny, the eldest, never left Hazelhurst -- she is the caretaker of the sisters’ cantankerous Old Granddaddy. Meg, the middle sister, left home to pursue stardom as a singer in Los Angeles, but has, so far, only found happiness at the bottom of a bottle. And Babe, the youngest, has just been arrested for the murder of her abusive husband, Zackery Bottrelle. Under the scorching heat of the Mississippi sun, past resentments bubble to the surface and each sister must come to terms with the consequences of her own “crimes of the heart.”
Crimes of the Heart is the recipient of the 1982 Tony Award for best play and the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for best play.
