Just one show taking the stage this weekend - but it's a great one!Crimes of the Heart is an award-winning drama being staged by ARTS in Huntington.
Hazelhurst, Mississippi is where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at thirty and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, who outgrew Hazelurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast; while Babe is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer Barnette who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. Doc is Meg's High School sweetheart who livens up the mix even more.
This is the story of how people escape the past to seize the future.
Tickets are $10. The play will be presented at the Renaissance Theatre Aug. 17, 18, 24 and 25 at 8 p.m. and Aug. 19 and 26 at 2 p.m.
Highly recommended!
