YEOVIL’S Swan Theatre welcomes a newcomer next week, when Amy McIntosh joins the talented company to play the role of Aurora (Rory to her friends) in Tatty Hennessy’s play A Hundred Words for Snow.

Mark Payne directs the play, which had its premiere in London in 2018, and Amy is known to Yeovil audiences for her charmingly convincing performance as Laurie in YAOS’s Oklahoma last year.

Not many 15-year-old girls set off to find the North Pole, but Rory is no ordinary girl. Her father was an explorer … in his dreams (actually he was a geography teacher). He planned an adventure for himself and his daughter – and then he died. Rory is strong, resilient and desperate to complete the adventure, so she sets off with not much more than her dad’s ashes, a book full of the tales of the Arctic and her mum’s credit card.

A Hundred Words for Snow is a laugh out loud and poignant story of the journey of a lifetime and it takes the Swan into a summer of refurbishment works ready for the exciting 2025-26 season. A Hundred Words for Snow is on nightly at 7.45 from Monday 21st to Saturday 26th July. For more details, visit the Swan website.
