Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley is a Pulitzer Prize-winning dark comedy that follows the three Magrath sisters, Lenny, Meg, and Babe, as they reunite in their family home in Hazlehurst, Mississippi after Babe shoots her abusive husband.

As the sisters confront the crisis, long-buried family wounds, failed dreams, troubled relationships, and the trauma of their mother's suicide resurface. Through a blend of humor and heartbreak, the play explores themes of family, resilience, forgiveness, and the emotional "crimes of the heart" that shape people's lives.
