marianne dreams

On her tenth birthday, Marianne is forced to bed with a fever. Bored, she picks up a pencil and starts to draw a house. That night she dreams. And as she dreams, she finds herself in the very house she has drawn. Inside the house is a boy who seems strangely familiar. Together they begin an adventure. But is it real or a dream?
Weaving together theatre, dance and drawing, Marianne Dreams plunges the audience headlong into a world that is dark, intriguing, fantastical and, above all, breathtakingly exciting, bringing you something you won’t have seen before!
