THE REVLON GIRL St Jude's Players
Written By: Neil Anthony Docking
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.
Roles Available: Sian - late twenties, bright, hopeful and eager to help, Sian is very much the instigator (and defender) of the evening's event and is desperate for it to go well.
Revlon - around the same age as Sian (if not younger). Revlon is smart, well-groomed, well-bred, trusting and clearly does not come from a Welsh working-class mining village.
Marilyn - early to mid-thirties, Marilyn is introverted, tense and fearful of change. Though outwardly simple, she is very focused.
Rona-early to mid-thirties, Rona is fiery, foul-mouthed and indomitable. She finds strength in rage, rejects authority and is easily set alight.
Jean- early to mid-thirties, Jean is stately, conservative and sociable. Though she hails from the same background as Marilyn and Rona, Jean is now the wife of a respected church minister and therefore regards herself as a pillar of the community.
Jackie (UNSEEN) - the hotel's part-time receptionist/barmaid; helpful but inattentive. It relies on voice only. She may be required to sing. She may also understudy the role of Marilyn.
