Di and Viv and Rose | 25th – 30th June 2018

Di and Viv and Rose by Amelia Bullmore.

Directed by Howard James

 

The hilarious and heart-warming comedy features three fun-loving young women, house-sharing for the first time.

It’s 1984 and, as Prince says, ‘Let’s Go Crazy’. The play is a thoughtful exploration of friendship’s impact on life and life’s impact on friendship.

The story of Mel and Edna, a middle-class, middle-aged, couple living in Manhattan.
