‘Yours Anne’ based on the diary of Anne Frank
adapted & directed by Suzanna Rose
This moving & poignant insight into the world of Anne Frank weaves together Anne’s diary with new writing, into a powerful piece about the hope, compassion & bravery of one young girl.
This show captures the essence of Anne’s diary in a powerful piece of drama which audiences have described as breathtaking, mesmerising and emotional. Nine young performers from Nottinghamshire will be performing for the first time at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, playing parts which are challenging but are brave enough to take on the very emotional content of the play and succeed in bringing this traumatic story to life in a very raw, honest and sensitive way. The show has immense impact and many members of the audience have been moved to tears.
Previously the group was invited to perform ‘Yours Anne’ at the National Holocaust Centre, on Holocaust Memorial Day, to an audience of Jewish survivors. Bassetlaw Youth Theatre has developed a reputation within Nottinghamshire for its quality of issue based drama & as a result of their work on ‘Yours Anne’ has been invited to work with other groups exploring issues of prejudice & genocide, including the acclaimed Rwanda Youth Theatre UK tour in 2006.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
We’ve posted a video of our single Suddenly on the page. Our most recent single, Dirty got played on BBC 6 Music Tom Robinson’s show! Have a listen to the music and let us know what you think!
