Hilarious and touching, this play for six women is set in a beauty parlour in Louisiana. Through four scenes spanning three years the staff and customers engage in small-town gossip but we see a deep strength and purposefulness emerge when Shelby - a diabetic - dies following a kidney transplant operation.
A funny, moving story about the lives of 6 women, all told in the beauty shop in the form of gossip. I preferred the book to the movie.
