Kate is a young film star coming to terms with her new found fame. Kate is her make up artist, divorced with an estranged daughter and elderly father in need of care. Together in the privacy of the Make Up caravan the two women share confidences and try to find a path through the future. This warm, intimate play is about the faceswe show the world.
Structured around a series of bold make up looks being applied throughout the show to one actor by the other, Made Up makes playful use of time and identity slipage. It is a play both easy to engage with and inteligently thought provoking.
