“When I write I can shake off all my
cares. My sorrow disappears. My spirits
are revived! But, and that’s a big question,
will I ever be able to write something
great, will I ever become a journalist or a
writer?”— Anne Frank
I
n this powerful, intimate adaptation
of Anne Frank audience members
fi nd themselves going back in time as
cast members enter an era where human
moral is shattered by horrifi c changes. But
somewhere in a small annex a little girl
fi nds the courage to survive. During two
years of hiding, Anne Frank records daily
activities and conversations with wit and
astonishing honesty.
The audience learns through a mature
13-year-old that the human heart truly can
defeat the fear of death. In this drama, the
Last Resort Players invites the audience to
witness what life may have been like for
the Frank family — living a claustrophobic
existence together, with eight people try
to contain their fear of what is to come,
as well as grief for what was
lost.
And hope for a peace that
allows them to return to their
ordinary lives.
History plays out in
front of the audience in this
adaptation for those who
know the story well, and for
a new generation that has yet
to understand the gift of what
Anne Frank gave to humanity
through her diary.
The show will be
performed April 22 through
April 30 at the Florence
Events Center
