LIPSTICK DREAMS

OPENING November 16 is Lipstick Dreams by Helen O’Connor and Simon Hopkinson and directed by Sue Clapham. Lipstick Dreams is a light-hearted look at the lives of four different women living in a small country town, each with their own dreams and disappointments, their thoughts of what might have been and the inevitability of what really “is”.

They all seem to settle for second best, then one day they realise that their dreams could become a reality, that “they can do it”. And that’s what these four women do, they take a chance! They let their hair down and have the time of their lives. A must-see play full of laughter, tears and fun, with toe-tapping songs from the “swinging 60s” that will have you dancing in the aisles.
