Anne Being Frank a new play by Ron Elisha


  • Sydney Opera House (map)

Had she known what was to come, would Anne Frank still have written the famous line: ‘In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart’?

What if Anne Frank kept writing?

This multi-award-winning play is a complete reimagining of the iconic Anne Frank story. 

It asks us to consider what “could have been” and moves between three worlds - the secret annex where Anne's 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 - Best of Solo Performance and Best Production of a Play

Performance contains adult themes, strong language, Antisemitism, war, gun violence, sexual violence and concentration camps.
