Henley 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 ＂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 brokenhearted.
