"Crimes of the Heart"

Crimes of the Heart

Beth Henley

TheatreWorks Silicon Valley

Therese Plaehn, Lizzie O'Hara & Sarah Moser

The sometimes sad, often wacky, and usually hilarious goings on in the Magrath household of 1974 Mississippi remind us that forgiveness of family foibles is the road to keeping solid the bonds that in the end, hold families together.  TheatreWorks Silicon Valley has dusted off a some might consider a bit dated for 2017, that of Beth Henley's "Crimes of the Heart,"  and has proven that this Pulitzer winner indeed has some solid legs still to stand on.
