1943, the Second World War rages into its fourth year.
The German population live in silence and fear, as they blindly follow Hitler’s extreme policies. Yet in the shadows, there are whispers. Young voices join together to say enough is enough.
This is the true story of a group of teenagers with extraordinary courage in the face of immense danger, who rose up against the Nazis, despite knowing the terrible price they may pay for their convictions. This play brings these heroes lives into a new light.
Performed by students of Bedford School.
