The Revlon Girl By Neil Anthony DockingDirected by Eric Whiting 10th - 17th February 2024 At 9.15 on the morning of 21st October 1966, a huge wave of debris from a local coal mine swept down onto the Welsh village of Aberfan. Directly in its path was the local junior school. 116 children and 28 adults lost their lives. Based on actual events, The Revlon Girl takes us to a meeting held the following summer by a few of the mothers - women struggling to cope with life after the disaster, and struggling to find some "normality". Sian, the meeting's organiser has booked a young woman from Revlon to come and give a talk and demonstrate some make-up techniques. Just three other women turn up. What follows is one of the most powerful pieces of theatre you will ever see.
