MorellaвЂ™s acting made me feel like I was in OttoвЂ™s position. Even though I knew that the Frank family was going to be caught, this does not stop me from feeling sympathetic for Otto at the end of the play. I felt that Morella did a really good job portraying Otto. He was a good father to Anne even in situations when it was hard to be a good person, let alone a good parent. He was a very likable character and I connected to him easily. There were, however, moments when I found Anne to be too perky and rather unrelatable.ДЄlthough I really liked Anne, my favorite character was her father Otto Frank, played by actor Paul Morella. Sometimes she was bored and longing to go outside, which I found to be very relatable. There were times when I related to Anne and times where I just could not imagine how I would feel if I were in her shoes.

I felt that through both the uplifting scenes and the difficult scenes, actress Carolyn Faye Kramer played the lead role of Anne Frank very well. One of the stronger aspects of the play was the acting. The fact that I was only able to see AnneвЂ™s room added to the feeling that I was seeing things from AnneвЂ™s perspective. The set was divided into five main spaces: a kitchen, a living room, the attic, Anne and MargotвЂ™s room and a wall with doors giving the impression that there were spaces beyond where the audience could see. The set looked very realistic, containing pictures of the real Anne and her older sister Margot as well as furniture that looked worn. I had only ever read a number of passages from вЂњThe Diary of Anne Frank,вЂќ but I felt as if the set had fully captured the essence of the secret annex the Frank family had been living in hiding for so long. There were only a few rows of seats and a set that took up about half of the room. My first impression when I walked into the Olney Theater was that it was a very small and intimate space. The play was shown in the small black box theater that seats only around 150 people. 28 I got the opportunity to see вЂњThe Diary of Anne FrankвЂќ at the Olney Theater with my fellow sophomore class. Just seconds before, the actorsвЂ™ chatter and laughter came abruptly to a halt as the Nazi soldiers marched onto the stage to take the Frank family and their friends to their death.

As the sound of feet disappeared, the lights gradually faded leaving the stage dark and empty.
