Young budding performers will have the chance to play main roles in a hard-hitting production next year.

Cromer and Sheringham Operatic and Dramatic Society is putting on The Diary of Anne Frank in February at Sheringham Little Theatre.

It is looking for teenagers to audition for three main parts on November 4.

The deadline for applications to play Anne Frank, Margot Frank and Peter Van Daan is October 19 and a read through will happen on October 23.

Jewish-born Anne died aged 15 at a Nazi German concentration camp in 1945.

She went into hiding in Amsterdam with her family from 1942 until 1944. It was during that time she wrote her diary.

In the play she is between 13 and 15.

A teenager is also needed to play Anne's sister Margot, aged between 16 and 18, and Peter Van Daan, aged 15 to 17. He was also in the hidden annex with the Frank family.
