When Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller meet in 1887, the 25-year-old Annie feels like a person who has been incorrectly assembled, while the 12-year-old Helen is trapped in a dark limbo – without the ability to see, hear or speak.

Judi Hattingh, a 13-year-old learner from Curro Durbanville, takes her first steps on a professional stage in the role of Helen.
