Four-time Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune joins Brett and Tim in the studio to chat about bringing the beloved Steel Magnolias to the stage and why this timeless story continues to resonate with audiences today.
Lisa shares how the play’s powerful themes of friendship, chosen family, grief, resilience and women’s voices have made it a lasting classic, particularly within the LGBTQIA+ community. She also reflects on the joy of working alongside an all-star Australian cast, the unique magic (and unpredictability!) of live theatre, and why Robert Harling’s writing remains so emotionally powerful.
Plus, Lisa gives us a sneak peek at her next exciting role opposite Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville in Noël Coward’s Private Lives, and reveals why she’s still just as passionate about storytelling after decades on stage and screen. It’s a warm, funny and heartfelt conversation celebrating theatre, connection and the stories that bring us together.
