Helped by her eager new assistant, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town's rich residents. Filled with hilarious dialogue and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the play's characters, but also draws on their underlying strengths and love, which makes this production truly touching and funny.
