The Revlon Girl

Set eight months following Aberfan Disaster of 1966 (in which 144 people were killed; 116 of them children)The Revlon Girl tells 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. The play imagines one meeting at which they invite a Revlon representative to give a presentation about make-up. From that innocent premise,the play delves into the tragic situation with both deep emotion and humor.
