Henley in an Hour (Playwrights in An Hour)

As a young girl in Jackson, Mississippi, Beth Henley helped her mother-an actress-memorize her lines for a community theatre production of "The Glass Menagerie." Fifteen years later, Henley would win the Pulitzer Prize for her first full-length play, "Crimes of the Heart," and begin a long career of bringing to the stage her own menagerie of misfits, outcasts, eccentrics, dreamers,lovers, murderers, as well as the lonely, the gentle, and the broken hearted.
