One of the most quotable works of the past 20 years, Steel Magnolias is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin Parish, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. The outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the curmudgeonly Ouiser (“I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years”), the eccentric yet sensible Miss Clairee, and the respected and admired M’Lynn and her daughter Shelby, the prettiest girl in town. The play is filled with hilarious repartee, humorously revealing verbal collisions, and a touch of sadness. As the ladies come face to face with trying times, they draw on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality that makes them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.
