Death of a Beauty Saleswoman (Tour – Salford)

Jacqueline Jones, beauty saleswoman extraordinaire
arrives at the gorgeously intimate Studio Theatre at The Lowry; complete with
her vanity case of Snow Queen facial bleach and other must have beauty
essentials, “providing service to the fat, hairy and downright
horrendous!”

Written by and starring Debbie Tracey, this one-woman
show takes us through a hour of Jacqueline’s life as it slowly unwinds after the
disappearance of her husband, after he was caught evading tax, along with the
contents of the nightclub safe.

Jacqueline is ambitious and driven and living the
lifestyle that a women of her standing ought to be leading.  Snapshots of her childhood, where she
was bullied for being one of only three coloured people at her school, play out
and we see how it has shaped her, and how she has now become the bully as she
oppresses her PA.  Glimpses of a sad
past are revealed with the relationship which could have been, has she not
followed her own advice of “if a millionaire asks you to marry them, always say
‘yes’.”

As her life starts to unravel throughout the hour, we
are treated to a hysterical view of her life, her dreams, her ambitions and a
rendition of Tina Turner which is not to be missed. 

Debbie’s performance is fantastic and her talents shine
through providing a memorable performance, superb one liners and a glimpse into
the glamorous lifestyle of one of Tropic Beauty International’s number one
saleswomen. If you can catch this show, you won’t be
disappointed.
