Steel Magnolias arrives in Basel from 11-14 June, bringing Robert Harling’s beloved story of friendship, resilience and community to the stage.
On the WRS Breakfast Show, Katt Cullen speaks with co-directors Scott Holland and Carrie Aikman, alongside cast member Lara Jekke, who plays Anelle.
They discuss the challenges and rewards of bringing this moving and often hilarious play to life, the themes that continue to resonate with audiences, and the unique relationships between the women at the heart of the story.
Set within the familiar surroundings of a beauty salon, Steel Magnolias explores love, loss, hope, faith, trust and chosen family across generations.
