Steel Magnolias By Robert Harling

Directed by Steve Kellett, the play is set in a beauty salon in a small Louisiana town and features the lives of six women over a period of two years.

Truvy runs the salon along with Annelle, the newly appointed teenage girl who loses a husband at the beginning and finds religion and a new husband by the end. Their regular customers include M'Lynn and her beautiful, newly married daughter Shelby, Clairee, the rich former mayoress and Ouiser, who has been in a bad mood for the last twenty years.

Funny and, at times, tear jerkingly touching, the audience listens in on the gossip and banter of these ladies as they deal with marriage, birth and tragic death and ultimately offer support and comfort.

Tickets priced at £8 and £7 concessions will be available from the Spa shop on Station Road, Bawtry from February 3rd.
