Well, it's a farce, so... everything! An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed.

| | The Diary of Anne Frank
In this 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 honesty, wit, and determination. Newly discovered writings from Anne's diary, as well as survivor accounts, are interwoven to create a contemporary impassioned story of 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.
