The scene is Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the three
Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family
patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his
last hours in the local hospital.
Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at thirty and facing
diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, who
quickly outgrew Hazlehurst, is back after a failed singing career
on the West Coast; while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail
after having shot her husband in the stomach.
Touching and consistently hilarious this Pulitzer Prize winning
show will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.
