Crimes of the Heart is a ‘dark comedy’ written in 1979 and made its Broadway debut in 1980. It has won many awards and has been a college and community theatre favourite for the last 30 years.

Very funny, and at the same time heart-warming, this play provides a full evening’s entertainment. Three eccentric sisters, a husband who’s been shot and a lawyer with a vendetta: the recipe for a 30th birthday gone perfectly wrong. Family cruelty has never been more casually dealt with than in this Pulitzer Prize winning Southern Gothic screwball comedy.

Ebullience abounds in the Magrath home, even as this Mississippi family faces a veritable heap of misfortune. Touching, tragic and daffy, Crimes of the Heart is a darkly comic family feud of epic proportions.

The Cranbrook production brings a number of new faces to the local theatre scene. New to our audience, and all delivering fine, insightful, energetic performances. The production has been in rehearsal since early October and will be ready to hit the stage early in the new-year.

Key City Theatre and Western Financial are proud to present Crimes of the Heart, written by Beth Henley and directed by Paul Kershaw, January 14-16 and 21-23 at 7:30 p.m.
