London, Summer 2010. Orla and Mark cordially invite you to the grand opening of their fabulous new drag bar.  There’s one problem. Orla has just returned from witnessing a failed revolution. By accident. 

Lipstick: A Fairy Tale of Iran is a story of rage, redemption, and weaponised  whimsy, which straddles Tehran, Derry and London.

Lipstick stars the award-winning actor Siobhan O’Kelly (Jack Taylor, Klondike) as Orla and celebrated drag legend Nathan Kiley/Topsie Redfern (Mary Sunshine in Chicago; Rubbed) as Mark.
