After the death of a close friend in 2003, a group of Tauranga based mothers decided to stage an extravaganza to offer women over 40 the chance to express themselves however they damn well please. The inaugural Tarnished Frocks and Divas in 2005 was a relatively modest affair, for one night only to an audience of 180. Fast forward, and audiences now flock to the venue in their thousands, making it a highlight of Tauranga's entertainment calendar. A new documentary Frocks and Divas, follows the production of the 2019 Tarnished Frocks and Divas show from auditions through to the big event. Lynn talks with the film's directors, Paul and Sass Innes.
