First Look: Di and Viv and Rose at The Stephen Joseph Theatre

Three women are thrown together in their late teens. They are very different people, but it isn’t long before they’re living in each other’s pockets. Life is a blast, and together they can do anything. But life also has unexpected plans for them…

Di and Viv and Rose is the funny, moving and surprising story of three friends whose relationship spans 30 dramatic years. Written by actor-writer Amelia Bullmore (best known as Steph Barnes in Coronation Street, Vicky Fleming in Happy Valley and DCI Gill Murray in Scott & Bailey, of which she also wrote several episodes), the original production had a sell-out run at Hampstead Theatre and transferred to the West End.

Di and Viv and Rose is directed by Lotte Wakeham, who last year directed The World Goes Round at the SJT, and also the musical Wonderland, currently touring the UK. Lotte was Associate Director on the RSC’s Matilda.

Di and Viv and Rose is at Stephen Joseph Theatre 3^rd – 26^th August 2017.
