Even though everybody (I assume the story is as well-known in the US as it is over here) nobody already knows the ending, it's important that it's there. I sometimes wonder if the story would have become so well-known worldwide if it had a happy ending. Then it would 'just' have been a girl in shelter who held a diary. I cannot watch the movie or read the book without getting emotional. So I think seeing the play (for the first time in my life I'm gonna see it as a play) 'in real life' in June is going to be even harder. Just curious, will the Miep Gies character be added in the play as well? Jo Netherlands I can picture it’s hard to rehearse the ‘Nazi-scene’ but I think it’s a very essential one.
