THE REVLON GIRL
1 February 2025 @ 12:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Written By: Neil Anthony Docking
Creative Team: Directed by Olivia Jane Parker
Set in Wales, eight months after the tragic Aberfan Disaster of 1966, 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.
It’s a play full of humour, heart, wonderful characters and the indomitable human will to move on.
