Six women in a small-town hair salon, no appointments and no taboos: they seem delicate and vulnerable, yet they’re tirelessly tough. They are the Steel Magnolias, the Veres 1 Theatre’s (Veres 1 Színház) new comedy, which will be staged multiple times in 2025 and 2026 in Budapest, Veresegyház (Veresegyház), and Miskolc. They’re not heroes, but they can do anything: laugh—and make others laugh—even in the midst of great pain. That’s true strength.
