Auditions: The Swell

Annie is happy at last – she's engaged to Bel, the love of her life, and counting down the days to their wedding. But then her old friend, free spirit, and troublemaker Flo turns up unexpectedly, and announces she'll be staying with them until the big day. Their surprise reunion turns into a complicated love triangle with dangerous consequences that threaten to destroy Annie and Bel's Happily Ever After. But that is only part of the story…

Moving between past and present, long buried tensions emerge to unravel the tangled lives of Annie, Bel and Flo in Isley Lynn’s Olivier-nominated “fabulous story about what we are willing to do for the ones we love”.

Playing ages below are approximate, but the three actors in each timeline must be credible as contemporaries.
