Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Read It and Weep

Skim any adolescent girl’s journal, and dreams, love and teen angst will likely be splashed across its pages. Put those emotions in the harrowing context of the Holocaust, however, and it’s obvious why The Diary of Anne Frank is a drama often revisited. Vergennes’ Little City Players put a familial twist on this production, directed and produced by Sue and Jeffrey Fox, respectively, and starring their daughter Josie. The close-knit cast and crew lend appropriate intimacy to this well-known stage play, in which the heart-wrenching ending underlines the importance of telling and retelling the tale.
