Theatre On The Isle proudly presents this comedy at the Bowen Island Theatre. Five Women Wearing The Same Dress comes from the Oscar/Emmy/Golden Globe-winning pen of Alan Ball (American Beauty, Six Feet Under, True Blood). Five bridesmaids. One elaborate wedding. And one bedroom that becomes the perfect place to escape it all. Hiding out from the reception, five very different women discover they have more in common than matching dresses. What follows is a fast-paced, funny and unexpectedly revealing afternoon of secrets, friendship, bad behaviour and brutally candid conversation. Directed by Frazer Elliott, and starring Paola Qualizza, Molly Horton, Morgan Darcy, Claudia Schaefer, Tina Overbury and Basel Hussein. This play is not suitable for younger audiences and may be unsettling to others - featuring strong language, descriptions of sexual abuse, drug use and brief nudity.
