Poignant and powerful, The Diary of Anne Frank is essential and moving theatre. Had she survived the Holocaust, Anne Frank would be 90 years old this year. Her chronicle of her experience living in hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands in WWII is her legacy. Its evocative stage adaptation takes us into the secret annex and her teen viewpoint but never allows us to forget the terror that will rob the world of her voice and so many others. "The Diary of Anne Frank," by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, based on "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl" and newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman ends with the sole survivor in the family, Otto Frank, returning to the stage to share the fates of the others. Drawing on pages of the diary made public in recent years, this adaptation is seen as more forthright about the family's Jewish faith and also Anne's observations in the diary about puberty and her body.
