- Five Women Wearing the Same Dress
"Five Women Wearing the Same Dress" is a play written in 1993 by Alan Ball.
Plot
The play is a comedy set at a wedding reception in Knoxville, Tennessee where five bridesmaids have found refuge in the room of Meredith, the sister of the bride. The women come to realize, among other things, that they are closer friends with each other than they are with the bride.
Characters:
* Meredith Marlow: The bride's nosy, pot-smoking sister who is very sarcastic and much annoyed with the whole fiasco downstairs.
* Georgeanne Darby: Tracy's "ugly sidekick" in middle school and is unhappily married to the "biggest piece of wet toast I ever met."
* Trisha: One of Tracy's former friends and probably the nicest person in the group despite a tiff with Frances. She's had a lot of guys, but not any that measure up.
* Frances: The very naive and religious cousin of the bride.
* Mindy Mc Clure: The groom's clumsy, outspoken lesbian sister.
* Tripp Davenport (Griffen Lyle Davenport the third): An usher who falls for Trisha. The only male in the show.
* Tommy Valentine: Is not seen in the play. However he is Tracy's former fiance and has hit on or slept with all of her bridesmaids and many other unsuspecting females. He leaves the wedding reception with a female in a backless dress.
* Tracy Marlow Mc Clure: The bride, who is never seen in the play.
