Steel Magnolias at Dundee Rep

I am a member of the Board of Dundee Rep. I was really pleased to be at the performance of Steel Magnolias on Friday evening. Yet again the Rep ensemble produce a great performance. This is a poignant and yet very funny play. Whilst it is set in a beauty salon and the cast is all-female there is something for everyone in the play. The video gives some details of performances and interviews two of the cast. Well done to everyone involved in this production.

Dundee Rep is an important part of the city. It is great that Dundee has such a great resource. Over the course of a year the Rep has something for everyone. The Artistic Director of the Rep James Brining has recently announced that he is leaving to take a new post in Leeds. James has done a great job at the Rep. I would like to wish James all the very best of luck in his new job. There are strong foundations at the Rep and I hope that the theatre builds on these strong foundations and continues to go from strength to strength.
