This moving
and profoundly important historic drama, drawn from previously unpublished
portions of Anne Frank’s famous memoirs, follows Anne’s precarious
coming-of-age time as she and her family hide in a secret annex space above her
father’s former office in Amsterdam, while the Nazis are daily deporting Dutch Jews
to their deaths. Each day of these 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.
