Stan's Cafe

On a film set in a Winnebago, Kate, a young film star, is being made up.

She’s beautiful but scared. She’s on the edge, acting in front of the camera and making up stories in her private life.

Sue is applying the make-up and attempting to cover up the cracks, she is older and possibly wiser but on the edge herself, with a host of unresolved issues and people she needs to make up with. This time together may be their one chance to make things right; they are made up to have found each other.

Made Up is a heart-warming play about friendship and the faces we show the world. Using a sequence of dynamic live make-up applications, this is exactly the kind of playfully inventive theatre audiences have come to expect from Birmingham’s internationally acclaimed Stan’s Cafe.
