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.
