| | The Diary of Anne Frank
by Frances Goodrich & Albert Hackett / adapted by Wendy Kesselman
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. Newly discovered writings from Anne's diary, as well as survivor accounts, are interwoven in this new adaptation for a new generation. 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.
