Amelia’s Di and Viv and Rose at the Swan The Swan Theatre Yeovil will present Di and Viv and Rose by Amelia Bullmore from Monday, January 17 to Saturday, January 22 at 7.45pm. Di, Viv and Rose meet at university. Rose likes boys,
Di likes girls, and Viv wears clothes from the 1950s. They are young, hopeful and the best of friends. Together they can face the world through laughter and tears. Di and Viv and Rose is a funny and thoughtful exploration of
female friendship. It is neither sentimental nor nostalgic. It just feels real. “Funny, universal and wise…. it is a play that will last” – The Times Tickets are £12 from swan-theatre.co.uk
