Coming Next to St. John Theatre
Crimes of the heart
It’s Hazelhurst, Mississippi, in 1974, on the day of Lenny's birthday, of all days, the Magrath sisters are going through a terrible family ordeal. The play ultimately tells the tale of how its characters escape the past to seize the future—but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.
