AN INSPIRING LESSON, FROM AN UNFORGETTABLE HEROINE
BY FRANCES GOODRICH & ALBERT HACKETT
NEWLY ADAPTED BY WENDY KESSELMAN
DIRECTOR RACHEL DITOR
SEPTEMBER 22 – OCTOBER 23, 2005
“I STILL BELIEVE, IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING, THAT
PEOPLE ARE REALLY GOOD AT HEART” ~ ANNE FRANK
In this gripping new adaptation, from the original stage play by Goodrich
and Hackett, recently discovered writings and survivor accounts are
interwoven to create a contemporary, impassioned story of the lives of
people persecuted under Nazi rule. All the while, Anne maintains her grip on
reality by celebrating the simple joys of growing up—a new school year,
her first pair of high heels, and her first kiss. Share her timeless story
that will never be forgotten.
“UNDENIABLY MOVING. IT SHATTERS THE HEART. THE EVENING NEVER LETS US
FORGET THE INHUMAN DARKNESS WAITING TO CLAIM ITS INCANDESCENTLY HUMAN
HEROINE.” ~ THE NEW YORK TIMES
KESSELMAN’S ADAPTATION PREMIERED ON BROADWAY IN 1997 WITH NATALIE PORTMAN
IN THE STARRING ROLE.
