Sculpting the future of our nation

“Succession meets Barbie” -Showcase Victoria

Edith Aldridge is the youngest woman to be elected leader of her country. In a lush presidential suite, she has just ninety minutes to get ready for the most monumental day of her life. But things are not going to plan. Due to heavy fog, her team is stuck in another city. Enter Rosie, a twenty-two year old makeup artist from the David Jones counter, sent last minute to help Edith get camera ready.
From very different worlds, these two women, though face to face, do not see eye to eye in this provocative, slick and funny play that is “sparkling fresh and urgently of the now”.

The team that brought you PRIMA FACIE, brings you this dynamic new work that “explores the role that makeup and fashion play in how we perceive and receive women in power.” -review quotes from Arts Hub & Australian Arts Review.
