'Six brilliantly funny and perceptive monologues about the stresses of modern female life, from the author of the National Theatre and West End hit, Honour. The monologues are: Meryl Davenport - A mother who tells the story of her non-stop day in a rapid-fire internal monologue. Tiggy Entwhistle - A cactus lover bravely attempting to rise above her relationship crisis. Mary O'Donnell - A feisty teenage schoolgirl competing in a talent quest. Theresa McTerry - An increasingly disillusioned bride on her wedding day. Winsome Webster - A widow with an appetite for the unexpected. Zoe Struthers - An American cabaret singer who's had her fair share of personal problems. After its sold-right-out, award-winning British premiere at the Edinburgh Festival, Bombshells transferred to the West End of London.' (Production summary)
