Based on the book, Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl, this play was first produced on Broadway in 1955. The Diary of Anne Frank won the Tony Award for Best Play that year and in1956 it earned Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The story is based on Anne Frank’s diary entries made throughout the two years she and her family spent hiding in an annex building of her father’s business during the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands.
In her own words Anne reminds us what our deepest and best capacities are. Her observations within the microcosm of captivity reveal the terrible stresses of war. Ultimately her story shows us, in specific detail, the vital aspects of life and qualities of humanity that are at risk when humankind wages war against itself.
Experiencing the characters’ struggles to adjust to austere living conditions, one can’t help but think of the children alive today who are living as refugees of war. Anne’s childlike bluntness and soulful maturity remind us of the huge loss that war inflicts on all humanity. She speaks to us from the grave of what might have been.
Admission: $20 Adults/ $18 students and seniors
