The Wizard of Oz is the inspiration for this brilliant story of three 30-something women – Sarah, Tania and Leonora – who are preparing for Dorothy’s hen night. With modern character flaws of an inferiority complex, commitment issues and fear of leaving a turbulent relationship, they each seek their own ‘Dorothy’. Can the bride-to-be resolve their crises?
