THE TWEET THAT STARTED IT ALL

In 2022, a viral tweet asked "Did Anne Frank ever acknowledge her white privilege?" This question — asked and debated by real people in a massive 2022 Twitter thread — is the inspiration behind Slam Frank.

Slam Frank imagines what happens when a progressive theater company asks themselves that same question, applying the rules and tropes of progressive theater to The Diary of Anne Frank.

Transcending all taste and decency, they transform Anne Frank’s true story into an intersectional, multi-ethnic, genderqueer, decolonized, anti-capitalist, hyper-empowering Afro-Latin hip-hop musical.

This play-within-a-play is one of the most shocking and talked-about theatrical satires to hit off-Broadway in generations. And you, the audience, have the privilege of witnessing it.

Recommended for ages 16 and up.

Runtime: 1 hour and 50 minutes, with no intermission.
