Henley’s first professionally produced play, “Crimes of the Heart” focuses on three grown sisters reunited in Mississippi in the early 1980s after the youngest of the three shoots her abusive husband and is awaiting trial. The dark dramatic comedy won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best American Play in 1981, and Henley’s script for the feature film version of the play was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1986.
