Synopsis / Notes

The White Rose is based on a true story of a group of students at Munich University in 1942 who formed a resistance to Hitler's regime. It traces the story of Sophie Scholl from her arrival at the university to her involvement in the movement lead by her brother and his friends.

Sophie's story is one of hope, love and extraordinary courage in the face of danger and despair. Her journey from innocence to understanding and commitment, the sacrifices that she and her fellow members of The White Rose, makes Sophie's story an inspiring one that resonates through time and space.

The White Rose is a musical production for all people drawn from a story that is as relevant today as it was when it unfolded more than fifty years ago.
