Presented by Ali-Cat Productions Ltd, starring Ali Harper
Savvy, sexy and exquisitely crafted, Bombshells is a one-woman play by Joanna Murray-Smith which humorously exposes six women balancing the demands of their inner and outer lives with funny and touching portrayals of the modern female. Ali Harper takes audiences on a journey through six shades of the modern woman – in life and love. From feisty teenager to beleaguered mother to a 64-year-old widow who reawakens an appetite for the unexpected; the intensely clever writing wittily strips away polite veneers to reveal social pressures and hidden desires.
