After rave review for the off-Broadway premiere and regional US tours, this remarkable new play will have its Australian premiere at the Sydney Opera House in September.
Anne Being Frank asks us to consider what “could have been” and moves between three worlds - the secret annex where Annes family are in hiding; Bergen Belsen where, sick and starving, she lives out her final days; and an unfulfilled future in a swanky New York publishing house where we meet the bright, debut author who with devastating new insight is rewriting her manuscript for publication. Her editor dearly wishes to maintain the innocence of the original, but Anne is on a quest to tell the truth.
Winner of Broadway World Awards 2023 for Best of Solo Performance & Best Production of a Play. Starring Alexis Fishman
Presented by
Monstrous Theatre, Neil Gooding Productions and Shalom Collective
Produced by
Anton Berezin, Neil Gooding and Georgia Putt
Associate Producers
Alexis Fishman and Lyndi Adler
Made possible with the generous support of Harvey Newman
