BWW Reviews: Boiler Room Theatre's CRIMES OF THE HEART
by Jeffrey Ellis - Mar 28, 2011


A favorite of theater audiences since its debut at the 1979 Humana Festival of New American Plays at the Actors' Theatre of Louisville, Crimes of the Heart is given a faithful and elegantly staged revival at Franklin's Boiler Room Theatre. The play moves along at a languid pace befitting its setting and time period - and the story told by the playwright is as engrossing and as richly drawn as it ever was. Moreover, you are struck by the notion that Crimes of the Heart is, indeed, a timeless piece of Southern literature, claiming its rightful place among our region's most memorable prose.

It's 1979, and Jon and Leslie are two young, out-of-work, bachelors sharing an apartment together in New York City.

With the help of his fiancée - Kate, Jon dresses Leslie up to masquerade as a housewife.

On Thursday, January 27th 2011, art collector Normandie Keith will open her home to unveil her latest acquisition, a massive room installation by Los Angeles based artist Cole Sternberg.

After collecting multiple paintings by Sternberg, Keith commissioned the artist to take over an external space on her property to produce his piece. 'Cole is one of the most important artists of his generation and I'm so happy to be able to live with his amazing installation. It provides a sociological snapshot of where we are at, both disturbing and beautiful,' states Keith.
