Fantastically written script for two people on stage, entertaining and intelligent - covering politics and beauty, feminism and power. Edith Aldridge is the youngest woman to be elected leader of her country - 90 minutes away from the inauguration ceremony, and her entire team is stuck interstate due to weather. Enter Rosie, a 22-year-old makeup artist sent to help get Edith ready. A script that can be read in planning for a play, in comparison with a contemporary text or as a stand-alone piece. Content warnings: Sexist language, misogynist language, adult language.
