The Diary Of Anne Frank

Both Friday and Saturday I had the privilege of seeing Sinclair’s production of The Diary of Anne Frank. Simply put, if you didn’t get to see it, I truly feel sorry for you. In every possible way, it met and surpassed expectations. Technically the show was excellent, performance wise it was phenomenal, and the set and costumes were unbelievable. The Diary of Anne Frank is the story based on the diary Anne Frank kept during her time hiding from Nazis during the second world war. It’s a very emotional story, that has it’s highs and lows, but overall is quite sad.

When I say Sinclair’s production of this story was phenomenal, I mean it completely. I saw it twice, and loved every second of it. I couldn’t get over how natural everything felt, with such a difficult play that required so much talent. I was thoroughly impressed with the acting. Many times throughout the show, only a few characters out of many that were on stage would be talking, and those not, were playing their roles perfectly, not breaking characters once. It was amazing how well rehearsed everything clearly was.

Another thing I adored about this play, was the set and costumes. Eveyrhting seemed so authentic, I couldn’t quite get over how authentic it truly was. The clothes fit perfectly, the characters all seemed to be real. With the pairing of excellent acting, it was hard to distinguish the difference between this school play, and a professional play. The set worked perfectly, and it was obvious how hard they had worked on it, I loved it.

Lastly, the discipline in the acting was truly unique, after seeing it a second time, I noticed where there had been so me errors, some lines missed, or objects knocked over, that sort of thing. Instead of seeing panic, or a stutter on their faces, they simply flowed with it, as if it were natural. It was flawless in the sense that even when they would miss a line, it still flowed perfectly. That takes a lot of chemistry to be able to continue to flawlessly communicate, especially in front of such a large audience.

So, all in all, Sinclair’s The Diary of Anne Frank was a remarkable show that I absolutely adored! Jordan, Diana and Mrs.Hathaway, I understand you were all apart of the show, so just sending my complaints your way, great job!
