What's On

Free young people's theatre club Youth Action Theatre are celebrating their 50th anniversary with a new production of their first ever play, The Diary of Anne Frank.

The group based at Hampton Hill Theatre was founded in 1971 by drama teacher Eric Yardley after local children turned up on his doorstep and asked him to direct them in a play.

Patrons now include Martin Freeman and Rufus Sewell and the club has performed over 150 productions and been on tours around the world.
