Crimes of the Heart is a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play by American playwright Beth Henley. The scene is Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital.
This joyful and exuberant, yet ultimately touching, comedy focuses on three women at crossroads in their lives the Wild sisters of Winedale, Virginia. Fanny and Willa and their frustratingly quirky sister-in-law Johnnie Faye.
Cooney’s script is much like a van Gogh painting. Some characters, like Erin, are created with intricate paintbrush strokes; others are fingerpainted in concentric circles.
An original work by Sheldon Gleisser that answers the questions 'What is the significance of December 23rd?' And, 'Who is William Dampier and why does it matter?' A play about atonement and redemption.
Written by Sheldon Gleisser, Directed by Scott Douglas Wilson and Ambre Emory-Maier, and starring Michael Herring.
