Hilarious and touching, this play for six womenn is set in a beauty parlour somewhere in Louisiana. Through four scenes spanning three years, Clairee, Ouiser, M’Lynn and Shelby – Truvy’s regular customers and Annelle, her eager but inexperienced assistant, engage in small town gossip, running the gamut of the birth/marriage/death cycle. The play moves towards tragedy when Shen – a diabetic – dies followinng a kidney transplant operation and the deep strength and purposeefulness underlying the antic banner of the characters is ultimately revealed.
