Photo Coverage: 'Crimes of the Heart' Cast Meet & Greet

The cast of Roundabout Theatre Company's up-coming off-Broadway production of Crimes of the Heart held a press meet and greet on Wednesday, January 9.

The Pulitzer Prize winning play Crimes of the Heart, written by Beth Henley will be directed by Kathleen Turner.  The cast will feature Patch Darragh (Doc Porter), Jennifer Dundas (Lenny Magrath), Sarah Paulson (Meg Magrath), Lily Rabe (Babe Botrelle), Jessica Stone (Chick Boyle) and Chandler Williams (Barnette Lloyd).

Crimes of the Heart will begin previews on Friday, January 18 and open officially on Thursday, February 7, Off-Broadway at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46th Street).  This is a limited engagement through April 13, 2008.

"Crimes of the Heart is a sharply funny play about the sometimes frayed edges of sisterly bonds.  The Magrath sisters have trouble with men.  Lonely Lenny (Dundas) never married, failed singer/actress Meg (Paulson) lost count, and the youngest, Babe (Rabe) married an abuser—and shot him.  Now the sisters reunite at Old Granddaddy's home in Hazelhurst, Mississippi to face life's most absurd tragedies.  Alone, each woman might call it quits.  Together, they'll have the most hilarious time of their lives," explain press notes.

Tickets are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at 212-719-1300 or online at www.roundabouttheatre.org or at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre box office (111 West 46 Street).  Tickets will range from $63.75 - $73.75.  www.roundabouttheatre.org
