Before "Bridesmaids" there were Five Women. . .
During an ostentatious wedding reception at an estate in Knoxville, Tennessee, 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 failing marriage triggers outrageous behaviour; Meredith, the bride's rebellious younger sister; and Trisha, 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 play by the author of "American Beauty", "Six Feet Under" and "True Blood".
