In this adaptation, newly discovered writings from Anne Frank’s diary, as well as survivor accounts, are interwoven to create a contemporary impassioned story of the lives of people persecuted under Nazi rule.

This version is for a new generation able to confront the true horrors of the Holocaust.  In it, 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. The play captures the claustrophobic realities of the daily existence of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic—their fear, their hope, their laughter and their grief.  Throughout all this, Anne’s voice shines through.
