Synopsis
From Dramatic Publishing, Inc.:
This multiple national award-winning new American classic, which was a hit in New York, is about the
awakening of a modern teen Holocaust denier. Nicole Burns doubts the truth and cares even less, but
ultimately comes face-to-face with the hell of the Holocaust, and—in an extraordinary sequence—meets
Anne Frank on a cattle car to Auschwitz. We start out with Nicole in today's teen world of MTV. Hip-hop
dancing, unfinished homework assignments, and young love are all transported with her to Nazi-occupied
Paris, 1942-44, and then are brought forward again to the light and hope of the present.
"Remarkable. As heartbreaking as it is ingenious."
-- (Tennessean)
"A triumph."
-- (New Times, Kansas City)
"Packs a fresh, solid punch. The audience was swept up into the story."
-- (Sun Newspapers)
"A masterpiece."
-- (The Observer, Nashville)
Thomas Clark, director, describes the show :
This play is the story of a teenage Christian girl of the modern world with no interest in history and
ignorant of it's relevance to today's world. Then, after losing consiousness in an accident gets the
chance to learn about history and how it resonates through today's world when she goes back to 1942,
Nazi occupied Paris, as a Jewish teenager. I found this to be a truly wonderful play that is both
humorous and sad.
Small Disclaimer:
Most of the historical aspects of this play are factual. However some fictional license was taken
with regards to Nicole's meeting with Anne Frank and to the way Anne Frank dies.
