The Lipstick Plays

THREE PLAYS: THE MOST BORING MAN IN THE WORLD/ MISS AND MADAME / WHO EVER SAID I WAS A GOOD GIRL? Grandpa Juan Garc a is living a quiet life beside the zoo. In sixty-eight years, nothing important has happened to him, except maybe his love for movies and theater. Then, an invitation arrives from the Queen of England and five presidents to a ceremony to thank him for rescuing the world during WW II. "The Most Boring Man in the World" is a play about how theater once saved the world. "Miss and Madame" delves into the epic rivalry between beauty industry icons Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden, using their personal and professional clashes to illuminate the exquisite connection between hatred and admiration. In "Who Ever Said I was a Good Girl?" fifteen-year-old Trixie and rival gang member Tiroloco have both racked up over 20 killings as they compete for the highest body count. Friends and loves then face a deep moral dilemma.
