Calling all rom-com fans! Rose Theatre today announced the opening of Robert Harling’s Steel Magnolia on 1 May.
Directed by Anthony Banks and starring Kara Tointon (Relatively Speaking, Absent Friends, Pygmalion), Steel Magnolia tells the story of six women who regularly hang out at Turvy’s beauty salon in small-town Louisiana. Packed with laugh-out-loud humour, follow the group of ladies as they joke about life’s highs and lows until a tragic event leaves them and the whole town reeling.
Based on the true story of Robert’s mother and sister, this play ran for over one thousand performances Off-Broadway and was even adapted for the screen.
Both powerful and heartwarming, this fast, funny and vibrant dialogue brings alive the strength of female friendships. To find out more information and to book tickets, head to Rose Theatre’s website.
