Dewsbury Arts Group are now rehearsing their fifth main production of the season, The Revlon Girl by Neil Anthony Docking.

The play follows the ups and downs of the bereaved mothers as they try to make sense of their loss. Using friendship and humour, they try to move forward. Neil Anthony Docking was born in South Wales and The Revlon Girl, his first play, received both an Olivier nomination and an Off-West End Award for ‘Best New Play’ in 2018.

Eight months after the Aberfan disaster of 1966, a group of bereaved mothers meet weekly above a local hotel to talk, cry and even laugh without feeling guilty.

At one of their previous meetings, the women looked at each other and admitted how much they felt they’d let themselves go. Afraid that people will think them frivolous, they’ve secretly arranged for a representative from Revlon to come and give them a talk on beauty tips.

But the memories are still looming with the pit wheel overlooking their lives

This play has humour and poignancy in equal measure with kindness and compassion shining through.
