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.
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. 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.
