"Crimes
of the Heart”
by Beth Henley
"Highly recommended"
Oak Park Journal
“Crimes of the Heart”
by Beth Henley runs September 13 until October 13, 2002
at Village Players
review by Ed Vincent
“Crimes
of the Heart” by Beth Henley has just opened at Oak Park’s
Village
Players. This is Village Player’s 42nd Season, and they note
that
some half a million people have seen their shows of the past.
“Crimes
of the Heart” is a show to see, one not to miss, and here is why.
This
show has humor, song, dance, and action, in varying degrees..
The
three female roles of the sisters played by Heidi Drennan, Diane
Fisher
Post, and Carrie Hunter are so good the Jefferson Committee
should
start making more awards in their presses.
Each of
these talented young women must have been related to Lee
Strasberg,
the father of method acting. Their laughs and tears are brought
forth
from their total submission to their played roles, very draining and very
talented.
Their dialect work is on target, and the writing by Beth Henley
touches
on many issues of the human heart. This is a very well written
play
( 1981 Pulitzer prize winner ) and the acting is supurb.
This is
a wonderful start of the season for the Village Players and a great
show
to see. There is not a bad seat in the house and Oak Park should
be
proud
of this work.
