Steel Magnolias

Fragile as magnolias and as tough as steel, six women share laughter through tears, strength through adversity and tolerance through friendship…whilst changing hairstyles, swapping recipes and dealing with heartache.

Set in a Louisiana beauty salon in the 1980s, this inspiring play shows that extraordinary experiences exist within ordinary lives, and takes us on a rollercoaster ride through day-to-day conversations, emotions and the circle of life.

Beautician Truvy’s regulars include the town stalwart M'Lynn and her fragile daughter Shelby, new-in-town shy girl Annelle, curmudgeonly Ouiser and former first lady Clairee. They are thrown together in pursuit of looking their best, and they form supportive friendships and strong bonds that will see them through births, deaths and marriages.

When severely tested, the women show their steel-like strength, supporting each other as the darkest hours descend.

This heartfelt and inspiring story will make you laugh, cry and appreciate enduring friendships.
