In this powerful, intimate adaptation of Anne Frank we find ourselves going back in time. We enter an era where human moral is shattered by horrific changes, but somewhere in a small annex a little girl finds the courage to survive. During two years of hiding Anne records daily activities and conversations with wit and astonishing honesty. We learn through a mature 13 year old girl that the human heart truly can defeat the fear of death. In this drama presented by the Last Resort Players we will be invited to witness what life may have been like for the Frank family. Living a claustrophobic existence together, eight people try to contain their fear of what is to come, grief for what was lost and hope for a peace where they can go back to their ordinary lives.

History plays out before us in this adaptation for ones who know this story well and for a new generation that has yet to understand the gift of what Anne Frank gave to us through her diary. “ 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
