Step into the glamorous world of Penelope’s Courture where wedding gowns are created for Sydney’s elite. For many years Penelope has built up a reputation not only for her exquisite gowns, but also for the added mystic extra that comes with each sumptuous creation: a reading of the future in the coffee cup. However, the murky grounds of the coffee can reveal unexpected secrets and when shocking revelations are seen in Penelope’s own cup, gowns and emotions go flying as the elegant world of her salon is turned into chaos. Into this crazy mix add Elli (her daughter) who takes her mother’s profession a little too literally and about to step into wedding gown (and marriage) number 3; her quirky staff; some difficult socialite brides and two Greek matchmakers who put internet dating to shame and you have Grounds for Marriage, an exciting world premiere by Androula Kavallaris. Zoe Carides heads an exciting cast directed by Nicholas Papademetriou, and brought to you by the company who produced the sell out Taming of the Strigla.
