The shows will include the return of the Olivier-nominated The Revlon Girl, alongside a number of premieres and four comedy hours at the Park90 space.
The Park Theatre has announced shows for its Park90 space this autumn running from October to December.
This newly announced season will include the return of the Olivier-nominated The Revlon Girl alongside premieres of dark comedy Goblin, class exploration Florence, and the Papatango Award winning The Silence and the Noise in its stage debut following audio and digital productions. Joining the theatre productions are four comedy hours from Olga Koch, Lara Ricote, Lou Wall and Em Humble.
The season will begin with The Revlon Girl (26th October – 14th November) which returns to the Park Theatre featuring its original cast from the production that was first staged at the theatre in 2017. Set eight months after the 1966 Aberfan mining disaster in South Wales in which 116 children and 28 adults died, the show tells the true story of a group of bereaved mothers who met every week in a hotel to support each other through their grief.
It will then be followed by the London premiere of the critically acclaimed 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show, Goblin (17th November – 5th December), a darkly comic solo performance about obsession, growing up and the transformative power of being seen.Written and performed by Derek Mitchell, known for his role in Ted Lasso, the show invites the audience into the world of 15-year-old emo kid Eliot.
Goblin can be seen in a double bill with two shows: Florence (16th – 21st November) and The Silence and the Noise (25th November – 12th December). Florence follows a disillusioned Irish art graduate who creates a posh alter ego to break into the industry after multiple job rejections. She befriends the rich and entitled Isabella and finally feels she’s on her way – but when the cracks begin to show and her façade slips, she must confront just how far she’s willing to go to achieve her dreams. A sharp and darkly comic exploration of class and identity in the art world, the show received critical acclaim at the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe before going on to make its London debut at The Other Palace.
Rounding out the season, the adaptation of Tom Powell’s digital film and audio play The Silence and the Noise (25 November – 12 December) makes its stage debut. The 2021 Papatango Prize winning play follows teenagers Ben and Daize who begin as enemies but form an unlikely bond when she tries to protect her mother from his drug-dealing boss. The show is the second Papatango Prize winner to make its stage debut at Park Theatre following The Meat Kings! (Inc.) of Brooklyn Heights, which then won the Susan Blackburn Prize.
In addition, four comedy shows presented by IAM Live start with Lara Ricote: Inkling (3rd – 26th September), a show about How to Salute the Mystery of Being Alive, and Em Humble: Lady Of The Lake (3rd – 5th September)a fantastically surreal procession of Arthurian-inspired freaks in the comedian’s first character comedy show. Next up, Lou Wall: Where Are All The Tall Grandmas? (7th – 18th September)is a comedic investigation into height, heritage and what it truly means to live it large, then finally Olga Koch: Fat Tom Cruise (19th – 26th September)is a comb through of recent history.
Artistic Director Jez Bond said, “We are thrilled to welcome back The Revlon Girl to Park90, on the 10th anniversary of the writing of the play and to mark the 60th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster. This provides another chance for audiences to experience one of the most popular and critically acclaimed plays in Park90’s history, alongside two excellent Edinburgh Festival Fringe transfers and Park Theatre’s second stage debut from a Papatango prize winning play, The Silence and the Noise. An excellent line up of shows with a large helping of comedy to also enjoy in Park90 this autumn.”
