Five Women Wearing the Same Dress $13

Alan Ball

Published by Dramatists Play Service

1 Male 5 Female

During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tennessee, estate, five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below

They are ...

Frances, a painfully sweet but sheltered fundamentalist

Mindy, the cheerful, wise-cracking lesbian sister of the groom

Georgeanne, whose heartbreak over her own failed marriage triggers outrageous behavior

Meredith, the bride's younger sister whose precocious rebelliousness masks a dark secret

And Trisha, a jaded beauty whose die-hard cynicism about men is called into question when she meets Tripp, a charming bad-boy usher

To whom there is more than meets the eye ...

As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny, irreverent and touching celebration of the women's spirit

An irreverent and funny look at the intricacies of friendship and the power of similar dressing

"...[a] wonderfully entertaining play..." ~ NY Post
