Description
Selected pages from programme for the Touring Consortium production of The Diary of Anne Frank, newly adapted for the stage by Wendy Kesselman.
What's the story?
The Diary of a Young Girl, also known as The Diary of Anne Frank, is a Dutch language diary kept by Anne Frank and started when she was 13 years of age, while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. The family was apprehended in 1944, and Anne died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.
Otto Frank, the family's only known survivor, was handed the book just after the war was over. It was published in 1947 and has since been published in more than 60 languages.
Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich adapted the diary for the stage in 1955. Wendy Kesselman created a further adaptation in 1997.
This 2002 production was produced by the Touring Consortium and starred David de Keyser, Lynn Farleigh, Zena Walker and Anne Bedi as Anne Frank.
The programme contains details about the short life of Anne Frank, as well as details of how her memory is maintained through the Anne Frank Educational Trust.
The Touring Consortium was established in the late 1990s by producers Jenny King and Matthew Gale in a collaborative partnership with eight regional touring theatres, including the Theatre Royal Nottingham.
The Consortium was established to tour high-quality drama to large-scale regional venues, with particular emphasis on attracting new and younger audiences to each venue, alongside a comprehensive programme of learning and education work, such as workshops and talks.
Due to funding pressures, the Consortium was unable to continue and ceased in autumn 2018.
