Bombshells

Overview

A frazzled mother, a bride to be, a cactus-loving wife, a widow, a teenage wannabe star, and a fading singer. If you've ever had a sister, wife, girlfriend, mother or daughter, chances are you know one of these women. If you've ever blitzed through the morning rush of a school day, suffered the loss of a loved one or felt the nervous excitement of 'the big day', chances are you are one of these women. They are theatrical characters drawn from the everyday of modern life.

Queensland Theatre Company's Bombshells presents six monologues about women on the brink of falling apart. The play was written by Joanna Murray-Smith, one of Australia's most prominent female writers. Having plays performed on both local and international stages, her honest and truthful words always find a receptive audience. The play features the strikingly talented Christen O'Leary gracing us with her cheeky and vivacious presence on the Cremorne Theatre stage.

This production marks O'Leary's brilliant return to QTC since 2006, and Wesley Enoch's first directed work for QTC since becoming its Artistic Director in late 2010. Bombshells is insightful and salacious entertainment and should not be missed.
