Synopsis

Eight short months after one of Britain’s most appalling disasters – the catastrophe at Aberfan that left 144 people dead, 116 of them children – a group of bereaved mothers meet regularly to grieve and support each other.

At one of their meetings, they secretly invite a representative from Revlon to provide them with some beauty advice. The women are conflicted over their desire to turn their attention to their own well-being after so many months of soul-searching. It is this conflict that forms the focus of this new play charting the emotional struggles, tears and laughter of the community that a tragedy left behind.

Touching, tender, occasionally raw, this is a play that looks into the human heart of disaster – and celebrates the humanity that survives.
