⭐ ES & FLO – NEW PLAY BY JENNIFER LUNN – DIRECTED BY SUSIE MCKENNA – ANNOUNCED FOR WALES MILLENNIUM CENTRE ⭐
The award-winning Es & Flo, a celebration of older lesbian love, is to be staged by Wales Millennium Centre it has been announced.
Es & Flo, a sharply observed new play by Jennifer Lunn, will make its long-awaited premiere at Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff between 28th April – 13th May 2023.
The fierce love of an older, interracial lesbian relationship and women coming together to fight for what’s right are at the heart of Wales Millennium Centre’s latest original production.
Since being delayed due to the pandemic, the script has picked up two coveted awards – the Popcorn Writing Award (2020) and the Nancy Dean Lesbian Playwriting Award (2022).
Es and Flo fell fiercely in love in the 80s. They’ve been secretly living as lovers ever since. As Es becomes more forgetful around their home, an unexpected carer arrives.
Who sent this woman? Why? Can they trust her?
As the outside world comes crashing in, Flo fights to protect the life they’ve built together over forty years behind closed doors. And faces the hardest battle of her life – to hold on to the woman she loves.
Leading the cast of five intergenerational female characters, who range in age from eight to 71, are Doreene Blackstock (Netflix’s Sex Education, Sky’s The Colour Room) and Liz Crowther (National Theatre’s Animal Farm).
Joining them are Michelle McTernan and Adrianna Pavlovska, with the youngest role of Kasia shared between two young actors from Cardiff, Reesie Dupe and Mirella Siciliano.
The play is directed by Susie McKenna who leads an all-female creative team.
Es & Flo premieres at Wales Millennium Centre’s Weston Studio, running from 28th April – 13th May 2023, with tickets on sale now.
