In ‘The Jacksonian,’ Beth Henley Confronts Violence

NYTimes.com: SOME crucial details elude her, but what Beth Henley remembers clearly about the violent death of Kathy Ainsworth, her sister’s fifth-grade teacher, is the short shorts.
“She was with the K.K.K., but I don’t know who shot her or why,” Ms. Henley recalled in a recent interview at Geffen Playhouse here, where her new play, “The Jacksonian,” opens next month. “I just know that it was up on my sister’s bulletin board — a news report that her teacher had been shot in hot pants.”
