MAKE UP
Lady Christina brings another successful show to an end and comes off stage. As she takes her make up off, the star leaves the building and Christopher Landis, the nobody starts to emerge. Except this evening when Christina/Chris looks in the mirror, the wrinkles, receding hairline and bags under his eyes, suggest that someone else is with him; his father, the man he hasn’t seen in more than twenty years, since the day Chris told him about Christina.
Make Up was one of six plays selected by Breakwater Theatre Company for their Rough Cuts and Scratches : New Writing Competition at The Albert Room, Cleethorpes Library on 22nd February 2019. The play was voted joint winner by the audience on the evening and a longer version of the play was commissioned by the company for performance in October 2019. The official premiere of the play is scheduled for May 2020 when it will be performed by NoLogoProductions at Rialto Theatre, Brighton with Moj Taylor playing Christina/Chris.
