“Many of us are trying to lead multiple lives: child, mother, wife, lover, star, giving small doses of oxygen to each and imploding under the weight of so many competing roles. The women I have written in Bombshells struggle – sometimes hilariously, sometimes tragically – to bridge the chasm between the wilderness of their inner worlds and the demands of their outer worlds. And humour, in the end, is our saviour.” – Joanna Murray-Smith
As one theatre review explained – “Bombshells exposes six women balancing their inner and outer lives with humour and often desperate cunning. They range in age from a feisty teenager to a 60’s widow yearning for the unexpected. Joanna Murray-Smith’s writing strips away polite veneers to reveal social pressures, competitive urges, hollowness, failings and desires in 6 dazzling monologues.”
