The Will
Long lost sisters, with very different personalities and lives, on a high-stakes road trip for love and money. A Danish/UK co-production.
A contemporary, engaging British/Danish drama.
Birgitte is a young, successful and emotionally repressed Dane. Angie, in her 40s, has had string of failed business and is currently on bail for tax evasion. When Birgitte turns up out of the blue, begging her to fulfil their dying father’s last wish, to meet his British daughter, there is little time to waste - they have to get to Copenhagen as soon as possible. The only problem is Angie doesn’t have a passport.
Exciting drama from a British/Danish team that definitely passes the Bechdel test – the female leads spend their time talking to each other, and not once is a boyfriend/husband/partner mentioned.
Recorded on location in Manchester, The Will stars leading Danish actress Charlotte Munck (Follow The Money, A War) and Danielle Henry, a Â鶹Éç Radio 4 regular.
Written and co-directed by Polly Thomas and Anders Ludorph, with John Dryden, award winning writer and podcast maker (Tumanbay, Passenger List) as script editor.
This programme is dedicated to the memory of Anders Lundorph, who died earlier this year.
