Secret Bridesmaids’ Business

Secret Bridesmaids’ Business
By Elizabeth Coleman. Gold Coast Little Theatre, Southport. Director: Amy-Louise Anderson. Feb 2nd – 23rd, 2019

Well! The cat is out of the bag! GCLT’s first show of the year is all about what women want and how they justify the means to that end! Elizabeth Coleman hilariously reveals the psyche of the female of the species and Amy-Louise Armstrong has undertaken to share it with us in a bright, frothy production.

Set in a Hotel room on the eve of the nuptials: the cast - Meg, the bride-to-be (or not to be?) Michelle Macwhirter; Mother of the Bride, Virginia Leaver; long time friend and bridesmaid Angela, Kate McNair; would be bridesmaids Lucy - Kate Learmonth and Naomi - Susannah Kwan and the prospective groom, David Law, all work well to present this amusing piece of Aussie Theatre.

And the strong language used by the women when retelling of past experiences surprised a few in the audience, who (like me) thought ladies would never say THOSE words, but it fitted well into the telling of the tale to which the audience responded with encouragement on numerous occasions!

All in all, this is a great show and one not to be missed!
