The Revlon Girl
Aberfan, Wales, 1966. A coal waste landslide cascades down the mountainside engulfing a school where 116 children die.
Four bereaved mothers meet regularly and, whilst ashamed to feel frivolous, invite the Revlon make-up girl to give them beauty tips because they’d “let themselves go” in the aftermath of this heartbreaking tragedy.
Whilst the play echoes with sadness, it charms with very real humour - and demonstrates that even lipstick can bring a touch of hope.
Brilliant play!
