Crimes
of the Heart
by
Beth Henley
directed by Terry Dodd
"What
keeps this "Heart" beating (is) the undeniable
appeal of Henley's three beleaguered, damaged Magrath sisters...(director
Terry) Dodd smartly builds these characters from the inside
out, bringing out the vulnerability in each. There's nuance
and exactitude in every unscripted word...the Victorian
Playhouse's effective and affecting staging is very well-cast...
" *** (3 stars)

"Beth
Henley's script has an unexpectedness and deadpan humor
that keep you absorbed, laughing and empathetic...So talented
are the women who play the McGrath sisters that I really
couldn't tell if Henley's play had stood the test of time
far more brilliantly than I'd have expected, or if it simply
seemed wonderful because the performances were so rich."

"Crimes of the Heart (is) superb...thanks to
a stellar cast this show tickles the funny bone...Ms. Patton
Davies is a wonder on stage. The acting duet between Nils
Swanson as Doc Porter and Megan Van De Hey as Meg is thoughtful,
lighthearted and profound all at once...a new level of artistry."
