It also drags.

Englander talks about his process of turning his short story of the same name into the quick-witted comedy now playing at The Old Globe through October 23rd.

WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ANNE FRANK is a clever, fast-paced, and thought-provoking comedy that asks as many questions as it provides laughs and is playing at The Old Globe through October 23rd.
