Programme Note #1: Steel Magnolias

FM wrote: ” Steel Magnolias is a tragi/comedy about life in a small town in the deep south of America. Tuvy’s Beauty Parlour is the heart of the community for the female population. Here they come to have their hair done, their nails manicured, their faces pampered. Here too, they come to laugh and cry, gossip and quarrel, to pour out their hearts and share their deepest secrets.

As the story unfolds, the women draw together using wit and humour to show their love and deal with their pain, and we learn the meaning of the play’s intriguing title.”
