The summer play at Seaford Little Theatre is a joint production with Meeching Amateur Dramatics, Steel Magnolias, a hugely successful comedy/drama that was a massive hit on Broadway and in the West End, as well as a popular film..
Truvy's in-home beauty parlour in Chinquapin, Louisiana, is where the women of the town regularly gather to gossip and put the world to rights, especially when there is a special occasion to celebrate, a friend to offer comfort, or a conflict to resolve.
As their hair is cut and shaped and their nails pampered and manicured, they know that they have a safe haven where they can speak their minds and find a sympathetic ear and a cup of coffee.
These are women who have seen most of what life has to offer and know how to deal with it. They are as delicate as magnolia blossoms, but as tough as forged steel.
Full of pithy and sharply observed humour, this is a poignant drama that will have you rocking with laughter even as it plucks at the strings of your heart.
Production Dates are:
Friday 22 July - Saturday 30 July 2016
