The Revlon Girl

How do you carry on after unimaginable loss? How do you even face the world?

Set eight months after the Aberfan Disaster of 1966, this is the real life story of a group of bereaved mothers who met every week above a local hotel to talk, cry and even laugh without feeling guilty.

At one of their meetings, the women looked at each other and admitted how much they felt they’d let themselves go. Afraid people would think them frivolous, they secretly arrange for a representative from Revlon to come and give them a talk on beauty tips.

Touching, tender, occasionally raw, this is a play that looks into the human heart of disaster and celebrates the humanity that survives.

Contains mild adult themes
