New Adaptation from Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett

In this transcendently powerful new adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, Anne Frank emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit and determination. An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence-their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief. Each day of these two dark years, Anne's voice shines through: "When I write I shake off all my cares. But I want to achieve more than that. I want to be useful and bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death." This is a new adaptation for a new generation.

Warren lives to read, and his enthusiasm and literary talent make him Miss Thorne's favorite. But when Jennie, a Russian immigrant, arrives at the school, Miss Thorne's allegiance shifts. Jennie, a brilliant literature student, passionate beyond her years, is the student Miss Thorne has sought her whole life. Jennie idolizes Miss Thorne, who showers her with compliments, including one she almost never bestows when, after reading some of Jennie's poems, she tells Jennie that she may be a writer. Warren is not jealous of the attention Jennie receives because he has fallen madly in love with her. He delights in her successes. But quite suddenly, Miss Thorne cools to Jennie. Suddenly, her A's become barely passing grades, and Miss Thorne dismisses her work as too controlled by her passions and lacking in discipline. The effect is devastating.
