BOMBSHELLS (2023)
BOMBSHELLS is a hilarious peek into the lives of six very different people. The teenager desperate to win the school talent show. The blushing bride-to-be getting ready for her wedding. The exhausted mum who just wants some peace and quiet. The abandoned wife who seeks solace in caring for cacti. The washed-out diva on her comeback tour. The widow who gets more than she bargained for when she does some charity work.
Delight in the passionate, miserable, hilarious wildness of these bombshells, as love, loss, longing and loneliness bubble to the surface.
