Play Takes on subject of Domestic Violence

"There will be people who have been directly affected by abuse that will come to this play and relate to it, says director Kurt Gerard Heinlein.

He hopes others, who have no connection to abuse, will also relate and realize violence affects us all.



"A Lie of the Mind," a play by Sam Shepard, opens at 7:30 tonight at the Balcony Theatre in Craig Hall at Missouri State University.

The play won the New York Drama Critics Award for Best Play of the Year in the 1985-1986 season.
