About this event
Cosmetics of the Enemy by Amélie Nothomb, adapted and directed by Benedetta Scuto An airport lounge. A delayed flight. Two women meet. Between Jansenist paradoxes, cat food, and cemeteries, their exchange spirals into a verbal duel neither can escape. As Texta blurs the line between confession and manipulation, Jenna is drawn into a space of discomfort… and reluctant fascination. Some secrets should never miss their flights. Perhaps you could witness this one. “Benedetta Scuto writes and directs emotions rather than actions.” “An exceptionally promising young director.” — Cindy Marcolina, Broadway World, Slow Death of a Lotus Flower — sold-out London runs CAST: JESSICA MATTARELLI MEGHAN MABLI ADAM WADGE Running time: 45mins Content Warnings: This production contains references to suicide, homicide, eating disorders, and implied violence.
