The Diary of Anne Frank at Conejo Players Theatre

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK captures the claustrophobic realities of the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed attic - 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!" In this powerful new adaptation, including newly-discovered writings from her famous diary, Anne Frank emerges from history as 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.
