See it if emotionally gripping, resonant, realistic biographical drama artfully crafted and performed for 70 min. enthralls, regardless of your faith.

Don't see it if you cannot sit through 70 intense mins in small theatre, no set, one woman performance of Rowanda Tutsi 1994 Diary of Anne Frank story.

Also Few shows, from Broadway to off off or out of town, awed me to tears as this Easter matinee performance did. Though survival and redemption through faith and forgiveness of the “other” because “they know not what they do” is a particularly Judeo-Christian theme, the experience of elevation of spirit from forgiveness and letting go is universal. I did not hear a cough, shift in seats, opening of wrapped candies, or even breathing of other attendees for the first tense 60 minutes of the show. Kudos to this writing, directing, lighting, sound, and acting team for allowing its appreciative audience to relive the experience of victims of genocide, and hopefully learn and grow empathically, morally, psychologically, and perhaps spiritually from it.... Read more Read less
