A special TNC presentation for three days only of a staged reading with costumes and set of a new Anne Frank play not about the time leading up to the arrest in the annex, but starting with the arrest, when the diary is found overlooked, ignored and abandoned on the floor. This powerful new play tells the story of how this journal went from a pile of pages to one of the world’s best known and best loved books. Through forward storytelling and flashbacks, we watch how Otto Frank struggles with what to do, essentially meeting his daughter Anne for the first time in a new way in these pages. We watch skeptical editors, until the book becomes embraced by editors, and even secretaries at a publisher. A timely, trenchant play about a girl’s, a father’s and a book’s incredible voyage being presented even as an Anne Frank exhibit unfurls elsewhere. Discover new aspects of a story you thought you already knew.
