"Every night, just when the dark was softest and sleep was deepest, there came a loud noise from the end of the great room. It came from the place where the loom and spindle stood, where by day the grandmother spun and the mother wove."

Steel Magnolias


I went to the theatre Friday night; didn't feel much like going (because going out for me is just plain hard work) but I had a lovely evening. And I knitted through the interval.....perhaps I'll start a "knit-at-the-theatre" trend. ...giggle

This is what I saw...

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

The quintessential story of friendship, Steel Magnolias serves up a slice of life in Louisiana that’s as warm and comforting as sweet potato pie.

In the haven of Truvy’s 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 coiffed hair.

When tragedy strikes, it is in the familiar comfort of Truvy’s salon where they seek the solace and support that carries them through. Fans of Robert Harling’s 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.
