About the event
"I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood for forty years."
The Asylum Players bring Robert Harling's beautifully funny and bittersweet comedy to The Blue Room.
A stunning play written in the 80s, that became and Oscar, Bafta, Golden Globe nominated film starring Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton and Sally Field.
"All the ladies who are “anybody” in Chinquapin, Louisiana come to Truvy’s beauty salon to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoo 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 (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a “good ole boy.”"
