SECRET BRIDESMAIDS’ BUSINESS

BY:  ELIZABETH COLEMAN

Director:  Larni Christie

Elizabeth Coleman’s Secret Bridesmaids’ Business is a warm, witty and deeply relatable Australian comedy that explores friendship, family expectations and the pressures surrounding one of life’s biggest celebrations. On the eve of her wedding, Meg finds herself caught between her dream day and the opinions, demands and secrets of the women around her. As the champagne flows and emotions rise, longheld tensions and unexpected truths emerge, creating a hilarious and heartfelt journey towards self-discovery.

Filled with sharp humour, authentic characters and moments of genuine tenderness, Secret Bridesmaids’ Business has become a favourite on Australian stages for its honest portrayal of relationships and the complexities of modern family life. By turns laugh-out-loud funny and movingly poignant, the play celebrates the strength of friendship and the importance of staying true to yourself. NTC is delighted to bring this much-loved Australian classic to audiences as part of its 2027 season.
