Biddies

Presented by Adelaide Festival Centre and CDP

Feisty and vulnerable, these biddies are everything - except old!

Five ordinarily marvellous women find themselves back in their school classroom plying their needles in a good old-fashioned session of 'stitch and bitch'.

Their confessions are frank, their rivalries intense and their jokes outrageous.

They discover a common frustration with the limitations of being female and mature in a world still largely defined by men.

Accidentally locked in the classroom with nothing but ingenuity, Adora Cream Wafers and a bucket to get them through the crisis, unknown reserves come to the fore. Released from their own constraints, they rediscover their capacity to love, forgive - and take control. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

Men see their wives, adult children see their mothers, grandchildren see Nana, and the mature Australian woman sees herself, as some of our most beloved actresses bring this delightful new comedy to life and laughter on the stage.

You'll laugh till you cry.

Starring: Maggie Blinco, Annie Byron, Vivienne Garrett, Jeanie Drynan, Donna Lee and Linden Wilkinson
