On February 16, 2020, I went to see the Diary Of Anne Frank play. It was a haunting story about two families forced to go into hiding as not to be killed and about the people who risked their lives to save them. We watched this play at Match Theater and it was presented by Main Street Theater.
As most people know, Anne was a real person and her diary is our connection to her. We now know about her life and her feelings. We know how she coped in rough times and how she felt in the good times. The Diary Of Anne Frank is a sad play about love, hope, and finding the beauty in things you think can’t be beautiful anymore.
It was very different from reading the book as the whole diary came alive. The characters came alive when they stepped on stage. They reacted as though they were really Anne and her friends and family .
I was impressed by the quality of the play. The actors knew their lines and reacted just as I thought the real families would. This play helps us see Anne’s life and how she felt. This play was very useful as I am a visual person and it helps me to understand the book.
