The Revlon Girl

Work:: The Revlon Girl (S02121329193)

This inspiring, touching and funny drama is based on the events surrounding the Aberfan Disaster of October 1966. Set 8 months after the tragedy, we follow the real life story of a small group of bereaved mothers who meet every Tuesday to talk, cry and laugh (without feeling guilty). It's at one of these meetings that they realise how much the grief has taken its toll on their appearance. Aware that people would think them frivolous, they secretly arrange for a representative from Revlon to give them beauty tips - enter the Revlon Girl, with a suitcase of cosmetics in tow, tasked unknowingly with far more than masking minor blemishes.

Sian Van Den Bogerd: 29Jul17:
An absolutely amazing performance! We cried uncontrollable tears and then effortlessly laughed out loud! Such a fantastic, genius portrayal of a vitally essential part of Welsh history, or rather, everyone's history, as told by the actors who perfectly represented the voices of the brave, devastated and broken mums, voices that haven't been heard or represented - Bravo guys, a fantastic show! I didn't want it to end! A must-see performance!
