Description

"Wholesome and heartbreaking from start to finish" ★★★★★ - Northern Arts Review

"director Mark Burden has assembled a cast that would bear comparison with any professional company" - Theatre Baby

*****

“I don’t trust anybody that does their own hair. I don’t think it’s normal”!

In a small-town beauty salon in Louisiana, six women set the world to rights.

Each facing their own highs and lows in their work, marriages and parenthood, the women unite to gossip and unwind. And when faced with adversity, their deep strength and devotion to each other comes to the fore.

This celebration of female friendship will have you laughing at its whip-smart jokes, then crying at its devastating heartbreak.

Adapted into a successful film starring Dolly Parton and Julia Roberts, make an appointment to see this funny and poignant exploration of life, love, grief and sisterhood on our stage!
