Bombshells | Theatre Comedy | Byron Theatre
Ordinary women, extraordinary chaos.
With singing, dancing, comedy and the joys of sheer honesty, Joanna Murray-Smith's acclaimed play Bombshells is a journey from crisis to hilarity, via the thoughts of a group of women all linked by more than just their proximity to the edge; a nervous bride-to-be, an exhausted young mother, a widow with a yearning for the unexpected, a broken-hearted cactus lover, and a feisty teenage talent-quest competitor.
Joy, drama, crisis, fear, revelation – there are times where you have to remain cool and calm on the outside. The inside, meanwhile, is a flailing monologue of personal pep talks, perish-the-thoughts and perpetual panic. Bombshells strips back the masks we wear to reveal the things that sometimes we’d just love to say out loud.
Bombshells is a low-emissions tour and has been made according to sustainability principles. Touring to 11 locations across NSW, the production was designed from the outset to fit in the back of a van (no freight truck!), and made with 100% second-hand set, costume and prop elements.
“A blast of magnificent writing... a tale of Everywoman, beautifully told, insightfully directed, perfectly performed and creatively staged.” - Peter Wilkins, Canberra Critics Circle
Run Time: 80 mins no interval. Recommended for age 15+. Course Language, discussion about sex.
