About Angelina Nichols
Lipstick is a post-apocalyptic drama by Angelina Nichols exploring beauty, misogyny and bisexual identity. Amid societal collapse, Mila and Sam find comfort in close friendship and budding attraction — until the arrival of Joe, who offers Mila an artefact of her former life in exchange for her companionship. As tensions mount, Mila is caught between Sam's hopes for a better future and Joe's offer of male approval. The show runs 40 minutes at Haldane Theatre, with age guidance of 16+. Content warnings include distressing themes, scenes of a sexual nature, and strong language.
Why see this show?
A compact, charged play that uses the end of the world to strip back the dynamics between desire, security and social approval. Three characters, a lipstick, and a question about what we give up to feel safe.
