Truvy's
beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, is where all the ladies who are
"anybody" come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant,
Annelle, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free
advice to the town's rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire,
Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth and the local social leader,
M'Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby is about to marry a "good ole boy." Filled
with hilarious repartee the play moves toward tragedy when a life is lost.
The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also
draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its
characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and
marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.
