Babe Magrath has just shot her husband. She was aiming for his heart, but to her dismay, she got him in the stomach.
The Magrath women are once again making front page news in Hazlehurst, Miss., to the exasperation of their bossy cousin Chick. As the Magraths reunite to deal with their newest tragedy, their secrets start bubbling to the surface.
With as much humour as pathos, Crimes of the Heart weaves a beautiful portrait of three unconventional sisters and the love that unites them.
Directed by Laura McLean, the award-winning drama, featuring 91原创 actress Joanna Williams, begins March 30 at Little Mountain Gallery, 195 E 26 Ave. in Vancouver.
Presented by Bright Young Theatre, a creative team of all women, the play is considered one of the most nuanced and heart-wrenching depictions of sisterhood ever written for the stage.
Gender disparity onstage and off continues to be an issue today, and even more so when playwright Beth Henley created this play in 1980. The women seen in this play are flawed but powerful and refreshingly real.
Performances are being held March 30 to April 3 and April 8 to 10. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., play begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and are available at the door, or online at .
