Te Puke Repertory presents The Diary of Anne Frank
Directed by Owen Force
Few stories from World War II have touched the hearts of generations as deeply as the diary of Anne Frank. Published after the war by her father, Otto Frank, the family’s only survivor, it chronicles the twenty-five months that two Jewish families spent in hiding from the Gestapo in the Secret Annex above a warehouse in Amsterdam. Confined to a small space and living under the constant threat of discovery, they endured fear, hunger, and the strains of daily life in hiding. Yet through Anne’s remarkable observations, wit, and unwavering hope, her youthful spirit and belief in the goodness of people continue to inspire audiences around the world.
