A revival of the popular southern dramedy plays the Pels - Kathleen Turner directs.
Closing Performance at the Pels: April 20, 2008
From the theatre:
Crimes of the Heart is a sharply funny Pulitzer Prize-winning play about the sometimes frayed edges of sisterly bonds.
The Magrath sisters have trouble with men. Lonely Lenny (Dundas) never married, failed singer/actress Meg (Paulson) lost count, and the youngest, Babe (Rabe) married an abuser—and shot him. Now the sisters reunite at Old Granddaddy's home in Hazelhurst, Mississippi to face life's most absurd tragedies. Alone, each woman might call it quits. Together, they'll have the most hilarious time of their lives.
Crimes of the Heart is directed by stage and screen veteran Kathleen Turner. She garnered critical acclaim for her performances in many movies including Body Heat, for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe; Romancing The Stone and Prizzi's Honor, which earned her a Golden Globe Award for each; Peggy Sue Got Married, which brought Turner both an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe nomination; and War of the Roses, and yet another Golden Globe nomination. Kathleen Turner has appeared on Broadway multiple times, most recently opposite Bill Irwin in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
Through 4/20.
What's the Roundabout?:
One of the great nonprofit dreadnaughts of the New York theatre scene, the Roundabout has two Broadway theatres and two Off-Broadway stages. Prominent artists are usually engaged, significant work is usually done, and even at the smallest of the theatres, the work has the uniform quality that one would expect from such a large and prominent shop.
