Synopsis
"How do you want to live here? I mean we could come and lead separate lives Or we could really live together. What do you think?'' Aged 18, three women join forces. Life is fun. Living is intense. Together they feel unassailable. From the team that created the award winning Mammals, Amelia Bullmore's play crackles with wisdom and wit. Di and Viv and Rose is a hilarious and thoughtful exploration of friendship's impact on life and life's impact on friendship.

Michael Coveney - 24 January 2013
Di and Viv and Rose - superbly played by Tamzin Outhwaite, Gina McKee and Anna Maxwell Martin – are three university friends in the 1980s who grow older, go mad to music, drift apart, share confessions about relationships, meet again in New York, lose track, have babies, illness and too much to drink.
The title of Amelia Bullmore’s sharp and funny play is redolent of a similarly titled piece about four girls by Pam Gems at Hampstead many moons ago, Dusa, Fish, Stas and Vi.

Joe Spiteri - 23 February 2013:
One of the best plays we have seen in years and thanks Amelia for writing such a funny and poignant story. With 3 great actresses --well you can't go wrong it is all real. Yes I dare say that many would feel maybe thee should be younger actresses to them at Uni and then older ones to do them in later life but I thought the 3 on stage conveyed the ages very well. Gina McKee is such a brilliant actress she just does it all with grace and talent and same for Anna Maxwell Martin who I think is always good in all she does and As for Tamzin Outhwiate she was so credible in this role and again a very versatile actress. Loved every minute of it and wishe it had a West End showing as this play and these 3 actresses deserve it...
