Steel Magnolias is a comedy-drama about the bond among a group of Southern women in Louisiana. As the title suggests, the female characters are “as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel”.
The play opens at Truvy’s in-home beauty parlour where a group of women regularly gather. They discuss Shelby’s upcoming wedding to her fiancé, Jackson. The plot covers events over the next three years relating to Shelby’s Type 1 diabetes, and with how the women cope with their conflicts, while remaining friends.
