Di and Viv and Rose
Di and Viv and Rose charts the steady but sometimes chaotic progression of these three women's lives and their ultimately enduring bonds. The varied journeys of their lives take their toll on the characters, forcing them apart and stretching their relationships with each other to a near breaking point.
The long vista of the years helps Bullmore to show with moving clarity the intricate way that life and friendship inform each other and how the stock of mutual memories can contain both smarting, buried grievances and the means to dissolve them eventually in shared, helpless laughter. It's written with a remarkable economy and freshness, and rings true even, or especially, in its moments of absurdity.
In Bullmore's hands the problem she has set herself - of writing a story spanning three decades in which only the three women appear on stage - is solved by using a deceptively light bantering dialogue which occasionally turns into pointed comments and then outright slanging matches. Humour is always only a batted eyelash away … this is an emotionally satisfying and perceptive account of three real lives. It's that dense … This is a story of female friendship that is neither sentimental, nor nostalgic.
