Steel Magnolias

Play by Robert Harling and directed by Debbie Keyt

The funniest story to ever make you cry!

A beautiful, bittersweet human comedy set in America’s deep south, it’s the story of six very special friends bonded together by their mutual triumphs and tragedies.

Despite their differences, beautiful and impulsive Shelby, her strong-willed mother M’Lynn, beauty parlour owner Truvy, elegant widow Clairee, sharp-tongued Ouiser and mousy newcomer Annelle enjoy a friendship that spans the boundaries of age and status. Sharing each other’s strength and loyalty, these six remarkable women survive the cycles of life, birth and death to emerge stronger, closer and still laughing!

Steel Magnolias will run from 10 - 25 May 2024 at Beaumaris Theatre.

You must see this, what a “Tour de force”. I felt like I was in the salon as another customer. Full of fun and energy and tragedy. Amazing direction. Not to be missed.
