Kathleen Turner Featured on NY1's 'On Stage'

 Kathleen Turner, director of Roundabout Theatre Company's Crimes of the Heart, will be featured in a two-part interview on NY1's "On Stage" this weekend, beginning Saturday, March 22nd and continuing next weekend, beginning Saturday, March 29th  on channel 1. Both segments will be repeated six times throughout the weekend.  Kathleen Turner sits down with NY1's Patrick Pacheco to discuss her New York directorial debut with the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway revival of Crimes of the Heart.

Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) presents a new Off-Broadway production of the Pulitzer Prize winning play Crimes of the Heart, written by Beth Henley and directed by Kathleen Turner.  The cast features 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 is playing a limited engagement, extended on week through April 20th, 2008 at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46th Street).

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—andshot 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.

Tickets are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212)719-1300, 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 range from $63.75 - $73.75.

 Crimes of the Heart plays Tuesday through Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. with Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m.
