In Hazelhurst, Mississippi, the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of their cantankerous grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest, is the unmarried family caretaker and fears for her diminishing marital prospects. Meg, the free-wheeling middle sister, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast. Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach and brings with her the awkward young lawyer trying to keep her out of jail while falling helplessly in love with her. Their troubles are equal parts grave and hilarious and subject to the judgment of their priggish cousin, Chick. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this touching family story depicts three very different women each trying to escape the prison of her past mistakes to seize a brighter future.`
