The
Diary of Anne Frank
adapted by Wendy Kesselman
March 1-31, 2002
| On June 12, 1942 a young Jewish girl named Anne
Frank received a diary for her 13th birthday. What began as a simple entry
on that day, later marked the beginning of a unique account of life in
hiding from the Nazi regime. Yet Anne's story is not merely a Jewish account
of the Holocaust. It is not just a history lesson about World War II. And
it is not just a story for young readers. Within its pages, Anne's diary
holds universal themes -- themes embedded with humor, love, fear and startling
clarity. It is a story that penetrates the senses of anyone who allows
its words to come into view.
Anne Frank: The Diary of Young Girl was first published in 1947 by Anne's father, the sole survivor of the Frank family. Since then, the Diary has been translated worldwide in over 50 languages, found popularity in classrooms, on the silver screen and on Broadway where it received the Pulitzer Prize. Now the Hippodrome proudly shares Anne's words in a beautiful and haunting new stage adaptation by Wendy Kesselman. Experience the world of the "Secret Annex" - the small attic hideaway in Amsterdam where Anne, her sister Margot, and her parents lived with four others in complete seclusion for two years. Meet Miep Gies and Mr. Kraler, the brave people who risked their own lives while saving the ones of those they hid. The Diary of Anne Frank is the true story of an ordinary girl in extraordinary circumstances whose voice erupts on the page with brilliance. See for yourself why Anne's diary has been read for so long and by so many. In it she paints the poetry of life. |
