Set against the backdrop of the rise and fall of the Berlin wall, The Iron Eyelashes explores the lives of Pieter and Anna: a brother and a sister separated the night the wall goes up. Pieter is a drag artiste who works in the West of the city and
lives with his sister in the East. She is an aspiring dressmaker engaged to a young policeman who is later drafted into the Stasi. The day after the rise of the wall, Pieter must make a choice: return home to his family and face the restrictions of the East, or find freedom in the West. Alone.

The play sees the past and present existing together on stage as events on either side of the wall conspire to dominate the rest of Pieter and Anna’s lives.
