The Diary Of Anne Frank

“Fox and Hull allow audiences to share in the tension in a way the screen or the larger stage simply could not hope to render on any meaningful level. Schlissel’s heartfelt portrayal of a girl coming-of-age in hiding is brought to vivid life in the space between the delicate sighs and shadows of human conflict.”

by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman
Directed by Reva Fox

In this transcendently powerful adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, Anne Frank emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination. An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence—their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief. Each day of these two dark years, Anne’s voice shines through: “When I write I shake off all my cares. But I want to achieve more than that. I want to be useful and bring enjoyment to all people, even those I’ve never met. I want to go on living even after my death!” This is a new adaptation for a new generation.
