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.
