Play Synopsis
The play is a new adaptation by Wendy Kesselman of the original by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. The Diary of Anne Frank tells the true story of a young Jewish girl and her family in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands from June, 1942 until August, 1944. The play begins the morning the Franks go into hiding and it chronicles the events of the next two years in the tiny annex as told through the eyes and words of the buoyant and eloquent Anne. Through the journey taken by these people, we experience hope and despair and everything in between. It is a story of humanity; the best of it and the worst.
