Multi-award winning Australian playwright and author Joanna Murray-Smith's highly acclaimed play Bombshells is a journey from crisis to hilarity.
Five women. Countless confessions. One unmissable comedy-drama.
Wickedly entertaining, Joanna Murray-Smith’s acclaimed play Bombshells has enjoyed sell out productions on the West End, Broadway and all around Australia.
With singing, dancing, comedy and the joys of sheer honesty, 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.
