“Did Anne Frank ever acknowledge her white privilege?”

bad things happen

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
