‘The Diary of Anne Frank’
Pittsburgh Public Theater kicks off its 2015-16 season with “The Diary of Anne Frank,” Sept. 24-Oct. 25 at the O’Reilly Theater in the Cultural District.
“Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl,” published in 1952, contained the authentic journal entries of a Jewish teenager who lived in hiding during the Holocaust. Her vivid descriptions evoked what life was like during this monstrous time. The book was adapted for the stage and opened on Broadway in 1955, where it became an immediate hit. The Public’s new production is a revival of this Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winner.
The daily lives of Anne and those hiding with her in closed quarters unfolds throughout the play, with moments of great tension, and also periods of almost normalcy. She confides her thoughts to her best friend, her diary, and its survival has allowed the world to know the spirit and courage of this remarkable girl.
Tickets start at $30. Tickets for students and age 26 and younger are $15.75.
