Wellington Repertory Theatre's current production is:
The Diary of Anne Frank
Wednesday 28 - Saturday 31 July at 8pm,
at the Gryphon Theatre,
22 Ghuznee Street, Wellington
Fleeing from Germany to Holland in 1933 to escape the Nazis, Anne Frank and her family, who are Jews,
are forced into hiding when Holland itself is invaded by the Nazis in July 1942.
Anne emerges from history a living, lyrical and gifted girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life
and increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit and determination.
The story is well known and the ending unhappy, but this production, which draws heavily on Anne’s diary, provokes
discussion about the way human beings treat each other.

They are joined by the van Daan family and, later, by a dentist.
The play is set in the family’s hiding place, storage rooms and an attic above a factory, which was
their home for two years. The play powerfully conveys the tensions and terrors of the period, and the
claustrophobic realities of their daily existence: their fear, their hope, their laughter, their love
and their grief.
