Awards & Recognition
Winner! 1956 Pulitzer Prize for Drama Winner! 1956 Tony Award for Best Play Nominee: Five 1956 Tony Awards
A two-act play based on the diary of a Jewish girl who died in a Nazi concentration camp at the age of fifteen.
"A lovely tender drama… Strange how the shining spirit of a young girl now dead can filter down through the years and inspire a group of theatrical professionals in a foreign land."
— The New York Times
"The precise quality of the new play at the Cort is the quality of glowing, ineradicable life—life in its warmth, its wonder, its spasms of anguish and its wild and flaring humor… Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett have fashioned a wonderfully sensitive and theatrically craftsmanlike narrative out of the real-life legacy left us by a spirited and straightforward Jewish girl… as bright and shining as a banner."
— The New York Herald-Tribune
"A moving document on the stage."
— The New York Post
"There is so much beauty, warm humor, gentle pity… in The Diary of Anne Frank that it is difficult to imagine how this play could be contained in one set on one stage… this is a fine drama."
— The New York Daily News
