‘Annie & Helen’ word van 25 Februarie tot 1 Maart by Fairtree Atterbury-teater opgevoer. Die produksie vertel die storie van Annie Sullivan en Helen Keller se ontmoeting in 1887. Die 25-jarige Annie voel soos ’n gebroke legkaart, verkeerd aanmekaargesit, terwyl die 13-jarige Helen vasgevang is in die donker sonder die vermoë om te sien, hoor of praat. Ná uitverkoopte vertonings by al die groot kunstefeeste, kom dié opvoering vir die eerste keer na die noorde vir slegs ses vertonings. Kaartjies kos R240 en is by seatme.co.za beskikbaar. Die teater is in Daventrystraat 4, Lynnwood Manor.
