In this transcendently powerful new 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. Newly discovered writings from the
diary of Anne Frank, as well as survivor accounts, are interwoven to
create a contemporary impassioned story of the lives of people
persecuted under Nazi rule, hiding
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. 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 an adaptation for a new generation
able to confront the true horrors of the Holocaust.
"Undeniably moving.
It shatters the heart. The evening never lets us forget the inhuman
darkness waiting to claim its incandescently human heroine." --NY Times
"An extraordinary theatrical adventure! Go and remember." --NY Post
"...new DIARY is chillingly honest about the Holocaust. Wendy Kesselman's
work has restored the terror." --NY Daily News
"Wendy Kesselman's
finely textured new DIARY tells a deeper story. A sensitive, stirring
and thoroughly engaging new adaptation."
--NY Newsday
"A powerful new
version that moves the audience to gasp, then tears." --Associated
Press
"One of the year's ten best." --Time Magazine
