Beth Henley's Pulitzer Prize winning play, is set in the deep South as three sisters gather to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his final hours at a local hospital. The oldest sister is unmarried and facing diminishing prospects; the middle sister has returned from a failed singing career on the west coast; the youngest is out on bail having shot her husband. The play ultimately tells how these three sisters escape their pasts to seize the future. The play's wit, surprisingly zany passion and warmhearted irreverence will linger in the mind long after the final curtain. It would be a crime for anyone with a love of theatre to miss this play.and there's chocolate cake at the end!
