"Impossible not to like" - The Guardian

Aged 18, three women join forces. Life is fun. Living is intense. Together they feel unassailable. From their first awkward meeting at university in the mid-80s, this warm, charming, comfortable drama follows their ever strengthening friendship over the ups and downs of the next thirty years.

Crackling with wisdom and wit, Amelia Bullmore’s play is a funny and thoughtful exploration of friendship’s impact on life and life’s impact on friendship. It’s heart-breaking at times and hilarious too. Just like life itself.

AUDITIONS

WE HAVE AN OPEN CASTING POLICY

This means you do not have to be a member to audition for this production!

We always look forward to welcoming new members and you only need to become a member once you get cast in the production or join the Creative Team.

Synopsis:

Three women meet at university and decide to house share. The play covers their lives over three decades and explores the highs and lows of female friendship. It is funny, warm and heartbreaking.

Characters:

Di
Viv
Rose

I have no fixed ideas about the characters to specify – I am very open to different interpretations and how the characters are played will be worked out during rehearsal.

I like to work collaboratively with actors, and I want them to be happy with what and how they are performing. The most important thing to say is that I want the actors to have fun with creating these three wonderful women.

Although the characters age over the period of time the play is set, the playwright wrote it with the idea that the actors would be a similar age to the characters at the end of the play – so somewhat in their forties.

Contact:

Books are available from me and if you’re not able to make either audition date, just let me know and I’ll see what I can arrange. Any questions, do get in touch on claudia.mckelvey@gmail.com or 07817617924. I’m also looking for crew for most roles, including stage manager and ASM, rehearsal prompt, props and costume (there are lots of quick changes and some 80s and 90s period costumes).
