Paraphrase the following
At the centre of CURL UP AND DYE is Rolene, the manager of the salon from which the play takes its title. Beaten by her husband, Denzil, she takes refuge in her life at the salon where she ekes out a living. Working alongside her is Miriam, a woman who has been doing menial chores at the salon for two decades while dealing with her own difficult home life in Soweto. Regulars at the salon include Mrs du Bois, the neighbourhood gossip who observes everyone around her from her high horse, and Charmaine, a drug-addicted prostitute who spends her days putting herself back together after the previous night's encounters. It takes a new customer, Dudu, a nurse who has worked her way out of an abusive marriage and into a secure position at the hospital where she is employed, to stir things up. When she arrives at Curl Up and Dye, all bets are off and all the suppressed secrets and racism that lurk beneath the other characters' troubled existence rise to the surface.
