Five students reluctantly attend an after-school history intervention, convinced that learning about the Second World War has nothing to do with their lives. But when a sudden school lockdown traps them in a classroom with their teacher, fear, prejudice, secrets and personal struggles are brought sharply into focus.
As the hours pass, the group begin to understand the reality of life in hiding through the story of Anne Frank, discovering uncomfortable truths about themselves and each other along the way. Funny, moving and thought-provoking, Invacuation Intervention explores empathy, identity, resilience and the importance of learning from history before it repeats itself.
