CRIMES OF THE HEART

Review

‘Crime of the Heart by Beth Henley is a sweltering, sultry and dramatic take on the complicated lives of three white southern sisters in 1970s Mississippi. Ably directed by Gigi Robarts who manages to keep the pace moving while allowing for strong characterization and with a striking period set by Magdalena Rutkowska that evokes southern kitchens of the period; the Tower theatre production succeeds in catching the sometimes zany, often dysfunctional lives of these three very different sisters as they struggle to renew their lives and come to terms with the past of their mother’s suicide and their own always present competitive rivalry. Jo Donnelly(Meg Magrath) , Sarah Peachey(Babe Magrath) and Emma Knott(Lenny Magrath) relish portraying the three Mississippi siblings and give clear performances aided by a strong supporting cast in the shape of Crispin Davy, Oscar Gibbs and Lucy Fletcher. Gigi Robarts has worked hard to ensure the production stays balanced on a fine point between the excesses of southern melodrama and wicked black humour and to keep the sisters’ story central while the play is framed in its historical period. All the appreciative audience at the Bridewell theatre needed was some smooth but fearsome Mississippi Punch to sip on and they’d have been ready for round two.’

The Tower Theatre performing at the Bridewell Theatre, off Fleet Street

How about a little hot southern comfort Mississippi style!

Suicide, murder, adultery, domestic violence and alienation are just for starters and the curtain ain’t even gone up!

It’s 1974 in Hazlehurst, Mississippi. Haunted by the shadow of their mother’s suicide our three dysfunctional protagonists, the Magrath sisters, reunite at their grandfather’s estate. Each sister grappling with her own ‘crime of the heart’ in this moving Pulitzer prize-winning play which is rarely performed on these shores!

Babe has just shot her husband and is on bail from prison.

Lenny is celebrating her 30th birthday, lighting her lone candle in a cookie.

Meg is back after a failed singing career in Hollywood.

The real sparks fly as the three sisters take on each one’s skeleton in the closet with funny and heart-wrenching consequences.

Getting ready for the next production

On Wednesday January 12th 2011, Lord Daffydd-Ellis Thomas and Jeff Cuthbert, as representatives of the Welsh Assembly and the People of Wales, received the painting Wish Fulfilling Tree from the Gesar Foundation.

Below is the painting Wish Fulfilling Tree. Presented to the Welsh Assembly for public dispay

Wish Fulfilling Tree has been presented to the people of Wales in gratitude for their kindness and generosity towards children and the Gesar Foundation. The original of the painting was kindly donated to Gesar by the celebrated artist, Magdalena Rutkowska, inspired by the 2010 recording of the children’s world Anthem by the Caerphilly Male Voice Choir.

The Gesar Foundation, on behalf of the world’s children, wish to thank the Caerphilly Male Voice Choir, Graham Thomas, Hazel Matthews, Catrin Finch, Molly Quarterly, Roy Noble, the BBC and the Welsh Assembly.

It has been brought to our attention, that the Welsh are the only Nation in the world, to employ a children’s charter. A more in depth report will be made about this very soon…
