Barnfield Theatre, Barnfield Road Exeter Devon EX1 1SN

In 1942, Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl, was forced into hiding with seven others in a secret annex in Amsterdam. Dreams of Anne Frank vividly brings her story to life in a poignant, beautiful and highly charged drama. Through movement, live music and song the play re-imagines and explores Anne Frank’s hidden world; a world in which she lived, fell in love, and dreamt of freedom.

Winner of the Time Out award for best children’s production during its London premiere, this imaginative play with music demystifies and humanizes Anne Frank’s story of tremendous bravery.
