Todays Ipswich Civic Hall update is about Bombshells

Funny, clever and often touching, Bombshells will engage both female and male audience members through its simplicity and honesty.

 

"...irresistible in its sheer energy...Murray-Smith's writing is a joy." THE AGE

 

A powerful creation of monologues is the first production on offer from Perth Theatre Company's 2007 ILLUMINATE YOUR LIFE season in the form of Bombshells by renowned Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith.

 

Winner of the 2004 Fringe First Award - Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the 2005 London Theatre GoersChoice Award, Bombshells is a hugely entertaining piece of theatre which navigates the emotional terrainof six larger than life women who are each at a personal crossroad in their lives.

 

Covering a gamut of emotions Murray-Smith takes the audience on the individual roller-coaster rides of a stressed-out yummy mummy; a backtracking bride-to-be; a geeky cactus cultivator; a widow who finds pleasure in the unexpected; a diva newly returned to the stage; and an all-singing all-dancing teenage talent contestant.
