STEEL MAGNOLIAS. Pilbeam Theatre, Saturday September 5, 2009

The quintessential story of friendship, Steel Magnolias serves up a slice of life in Louisiana thats as warm and comforting as sweet potato pie. In the haven of Truvys beauty salon, six very different women come together to share their secrets and bare their souls, throwing in a little neighbourly gossip for good measure. From weddings to divorces, babies to funerals, new beginnings to happy endings, they weather every event in their lives with grace, determination, and perfectly coifed hair. When tragedy strikes, it is in the familiar comfort of Truvys salon where they seek the solace and support that carries them through. Fans of Robert Harlings smash hit film can enjoy this enduring comedy and heart-felt celebration of love, loyalty, and the bonds of sisterhood live on stage with some of Australia's best loved actresses of stage and screen.

Starring Ana Maria Belo, Marian Frizelle, Jennifer Hagan, Debra Lawrance, Geraldine Turner and Jacki Weaver.
