Summary
The scene is Hazelhurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of 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. Their troubles are so grave and yet, somehow, so hilarious. The young characters must escape the past to seize the future; the resolution is so true, touching, and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.
