The world of the Beauty Manifesto is a world of extreme physical conformity where teenagers celebrate their sixteenth birthdays with cosmetic surgery. This explores living in a world of air brushed images and perfect bodies and questions contemporary ideas of beauty.
"The production uses several clever projected and physically stylistic interludes to contextualize the events of the play, which I felt were very useful and simply achieved. These moments are imbued with a strong sense of individualism, which makes them all the more powerful and chilling” - “the scenes are played with a clear dramatic intensity"
