Whale Music written by Oscar award-winning director and writer Anthony
Minghella (The English Patient, Cold Mountain, The Talented Mr Ripley,
Truly Madly Deeply), is an entertaining and moving portrayal of five
dynamic young women who come together on the Isle of Wight, England, for
the duration of an unplanned pregnancy among them. What emerges is a
touching and funny portrait of female bonding that transcends boundaries
of age, class and education. 
British dialect required. Script available on Casting Workbook or to be
