Steel Magnolias is a comedy–drama play about the bond among a group of Southern women in northwest Louisiana. Written by Robert Harling based on his experience with his sister’s death. The title suggests the female characters are as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel. The magnolia specifically references a magnolia tree they are arguing about at the beginning.
