From the description in the Dramatists Play Service catalogue:
The action is set in Truvy's beauty
salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are "anybody"
come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant,
Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the
outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to
the town's rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, ("I'm
not crazy, I've just been in
a bad mood for forty years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss
Clairee,
who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M'Lynn,
whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry
a "good ole boy." Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic
but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward
tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic)
risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their
mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying
strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special
quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable
company in good times and bad.
