Understanding
Beth Henley
Robert
J. Andreách
Beth Henley remains best known for Crimes of the
Heart, a play that won the Pulitzer Prize and the
New York Drama Critics Circle Award and later
was made into a major motion picture. In this
introduction to the Mississippi-born playwright
and her body of work, Robert
J. Andreách
pre¬
sents Henley s plays as a unified whole, consider¬
ing both her more accessible work of the
1980s
and the commonly misunderstood
—
and often
overlooked
—
plays of the
1990s.
Andreách
fills
the gap in scholarship about the later plays and, in
doing so, argues that they recast familiar themes,
images, and motifs into new modes of self-discovery
and expression.
Andreách
concedes that differences in setting
and style separate the two decades of Henley s
career: the plays from the earlier decade comprise
single, representational sets in the Deep South of
Mississippi and Louisiana while the plays from the
1990s
have multiple, symbolic sets in Southern Cali¬
fornia and other locations. He contends, however,
that whether dramatizing naturalistically or exper¬
imentally, Henley does not stray far from her origi¬
nal concerns.
Andreách
points out that while the
self-discoveries of the two decades differ, Henley s
goal is the same: characters who prove themselves
worthy in a culture that denigrates them.
Andreach s analysis features close readings of
Henley s entire corpus. He positions her final three
works of the
1990s
as a trilogy that reconciles dif¬
fering modes of self-discovery.
