Theatre production opens
Woy Woy Little Theatre's production of Secret Bridesmaid's Business, written by Elizabeth Coleman and directed by Terry Lay, opens on May 3.
As the play starts, it is the night before Meg's wedding.
"She and her bridesmaids are planning to kick up their heels as the final hours before the big day tick down," said director Terry Lay.
"However, not everything goes to plan as a last minute scandal threatens to ruin the whole affair.
"Elizabeth Coleman's wonderful characters bring this seriously funny play to life.
"Never far from reality, it exposes the insanity that can be created as the wedding juggernaut threatens to swerve out of control.
"Marriage may be a wonderful thing, but after a night like this, well, could it really be worth it?"
Terry said: "Elizabeth Coleman's play Secret Bridesmaids' Business is an absolute joy to direct as she has cast a realistic, yet humorous, eye over human relationships set against the backdrop of the big white wedding.
"The enormity of the emotional investment in just one day can compromise all kinds of relationships, as we discover.
"This must rank as one of the best Australian plays to be written in the last few years.
"The talented cast has had great fun in bringing the characters to life, so come with us as we see what happens in the last few hours before Meg's wedding," he said.
