To escape the horrors of Nazi persecution, Otto Frank hides with his wife, Edith, and two daughters, Margot and Anne, in the annex above his Amsterdam office from 1942-1944. Also hiding with the Franks are four other people - the Van Daans, their son Peter, and a dentist, Mr Dussel. The Families depend solely on their "Helpers," who risk everything to keep their friends safe.
Setting - 263 Prinsengracht, Amsterdam, Holland.
ACT 1: July 6, 1942 - December 1942
ACT 2: January 1, 1944 - July 18,1945
There will be a 15 minute intermission inbetween ACT 1 and ACT 2. Please feel free to visit the restrooms and the concessions.
Just as the Franks, the Van Daans, and Mr. Dussel were confined to the small annex while hiding, the actors will also stay confined to the stage during the entire duration of the play, including intermission.
