What is the theme in Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley?

Death is another theme in the play. Reminders of death are everywhere in Crimes of the Heart: the sisters are haunted by the memory of their mother's suicide; Babe has shot and seriously wounded her husband; Lenny learns that her beloved childhood horse has been struck by lightning and killed; Old Granddaddy has a second stroke and is apparently near death; Babe attempts suicide twice near the end of the play.
