A description of the play from Dramatist Play Service: “The action is
set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the
ladies who are “anybody” come 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 shampoos
and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, (“I’m not crazy,
I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years”); 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.” Filled with hilarious
repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal
collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the
spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life.
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.”
