The story of Anne Frank, reimagined through an intersectional, multiethnic, genderqueer, Afro-Latin hip-hop lens.

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.
