Secret Bridesmaids’ Business by Elizabeth Coleman is the next play offered by the Ipswich Little Theatre.

This is the first major play directed by the accomplished actor Martie Blanchett, ably assisted by Shane Mallory, a stalwart actor and director at ILT.

So, with those credentials and an outstanding cast, the audience is in for a wonderful night or afternoon of theatrical entertainment.

The plot follows the wedding party of Meg.

Meg and her bridesmaids are planning on kicking up their heels as the final hours before the big day tick down. However, not everything goes according to plan as a last minute scandal threatens to ruin the whole affair.

Elizabeth Coleman’s delightful characters bring this seriously funny play to life. Never far from reality, has Secret Bridesmaids’ Business exposed 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?’

The play is rated M as it contains course language and adult themes.

All performances are staged at the Burley Griffin Incinerator Theatre, Queens Park, Ipswich. The season runs from September 17 to October 4 and offers both night and matinee performances.

Enjoy a drink and snack or afternoon tea in the theatre courtyard licensed bar before the play and at interval.
