"When I write, I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived! But, and that's a big question, will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer?" Anne Frank
ANNE Frank's famous diary charts her life from 1942 to 1944. This extraordinary personal account of hope, courage and survival has united and touched people worldwide.
While hidden from the Nazis, with her Jewish family in a secret annex in Amsterdam, Anne documented her hopes, frustrations and day to day experiences in confinement.
This Pulitzer prize-winning play dramatises Anne's wry and often very witty observations of herself and her companions in the most hostile of environments.
Christopher Timothy stars as Anne's father, Otto Frank. Christopher is one of the UK's most popular actors and is best known for his roles as James Herriot in All Creatures Great and Small and Mac in the BBC TV series Doctors.
Everyman Theatre, Regent Street, Cheltenham, April 23-28, Mon - Sat 7.45pm, matinees: Thu & Sat 2pm
