Catherine Storr’s classic children's novel
Marianne Dreams was first published in
1958 and
reprinted many times
. Moira Buffini’s adaptation,
directed by Will Tuckett, is the
Almeida’s first production
specifically for
families and
will run at the Almeida from
13 December 2007 to
19 January 2008.
On her
tenth birthday
Marianne runs a
fever and to her
horror she’s soon
confined to bed. She
picks up a
pencil and starts to
draw to fill her
time.
That night Marianne
dreams. Transported into her
own picture she
discovers she has the
power to
change her dreams.
As she draws
by day and dreams
by night, Marianne soon
realises the
consequences of her
actions and finds that she’s
not alone – a
sick boy called Mark
exists not only in her
dreams but also in her
waking reality.
Marianne Dreams is
recommended for children of
seven years and above.
