Theatre - The Garrick presents

The Revlon GirlWednesday 5 - Saturday 8 February......................................................................Venue: The ACE Centre, NelsonDoors Open: 7pm Show Starts: 7.30pm Tickets: £12 (adult), £11 (conc), £8 (student/child), £5 (students groups - Wednesday ONLY)......................................................................Every once in a while there is a tragedy that rocks the whole nation - the Aberfan Disaster was one such event.

At 9.15am on October 21 1966, 144 people were killed. What made it even worse was that 116 of them were children, when the local primary school was completely buried under an avalanche of rock and shale - wiping out a whole generation.

This play, written by Neil Anthony Docking, was written for the 50th Anniversary of the event. It portrays the grief, emotion and pathos of the women in their valiant attempts to bring some joy and meaning back into their lives.

Richard DiganceSaturday 14 March......................................................................Venue: The ACE Centre, NelsonDoors Open: 7pm Show Starts: 7.30pm Tickets: £15......................................................................Is Richard Digance still going at 70 years of age? The answer is “yes” and he’s as powerful and prolific as ever.

Despite the demand for his soundtrack and incidental music for TV and film, he’s still doing what he knows and loves best - performing on stage.

Richard embarks on his 2020 Platinum Tour with the same enthusiasm he had when he first toured with Steeleye Span back in 1974. The fun chorus songs are all there, along with the heart-rendering songs about life’s issues, plus the comedic poems that became so popular through his 19 years appearing on Channel 4’s Countdown.

Richard Digance is a master of his trade and yet no one is more surprised than Richard himself that he has been getting away with it for so long!
