The Production of ANNE
ANNE is based on The Diary of Anne Frank, in which the titular character describes her thoughts and dreams during the darkest days of World War II. The teenager and her family hid in a secret annex in their house for two years before being betrayed and sent off to Nazi concentration camps. The play has taken the world by storm and offers interesting insight into the daily lives of those who were persecuted during the war.
