Crimes of the HeartBy Beth HenleyDirected by Kelli Moore Crimes of the Heart is a deeply funny family drama set in a small town in Mississippi. The McGrath sisters—Lenny, Meg and Babe—have reunited in their family home after Babe was released from prison for shooting her husband in the stomach. As they confront Babe’s legal troubles, the sisters also face painful memories, complicated relationships, deep-rooted resentments, and face their family’s troubled past. Crimes of the Heart is a story about a family navigating dire, yet somehow hilarious, troubles and strife. Directing the show this spring is Dr. Kelli Coleman Moore. She first fell in love with this play in her undergraduate acting class in college. Being one of four kids, she was instantly struck by the authenticity of how the sisters interacted in the play. Sibling love is singular, in that it is rooted in something unspoken, and yet is always being challenged and re-shaped. It can be both tender and brutal. Sisters know how to offer support, as well as cut to the bone, without missing a beat. The McGrath sisters embody the beautiful mess of being young women coming into the world when they have only each other to rely on, along with the occasional birthday cake for breakfast.
