  3. The Diary of Anne Frank


This new adaptation of the classic Broadway play interweaves firsthand survivor accounts with recently discovered excerpts from Anne Frank's diary, creating a modern and emotionally charged narrative of the Nazi era. Anne Frank is portrayed not just as a historical figure, but as a vibrant and talented young girl who confronts the challenges of her time with honesty, humor, and determination. Set in a hidden attic where eight individuals seek refuge from Nazi persecution, "The Diary of Anne Frank" vividly captures the daily struggles and emotions of their existence – from fear and hope to laughter and sorrow. 

Anne's voice echoes throughout the narrative, expressing her desire to use her writing to transcend personal troubles and bring joy to others, even strangers. Crafted for a contemporary audience, this adaptation pays homage to Anne's enduring spirit and her message of resilience.

 

Rating: PG for strong subject matter. 

Runtime: Approximately 90 minutes no intermission
