Theatre North presents A Red Stitch production developed through the INK Program
Monument
By Emily Sheehan. Directed by Ella Caldwell.
The fuchsia is bright.
Edith Aldridge is the youngest woman to be elected leader of her country. In a lush presidential suite in a heritage listed hotel, she has just ninety minutes to get ready for the biggest day of her life. Enter Rosie, a twenty-two year old makeup artist from the David Jones counter, sent to help Edith get camera ready. In Rosie’s capable hands, this morning will be a breeze. So long as they both stick to the brief. Sheehan’s astute and entertaining script challenges the trivialisation of beauty therapy, exploring the role that makeup and fashion play in how we perceive and receive women in power.
★★★★★ "A masterful work that intricately balances humour and poignancy."
★★★★ "A clever and highly entertaining comedy about class."
★★★★ "Contemporary politics is expertly skewered in this ambitious, flawlessly performed two-hander."
