Sid Silver is a man obsessed. When he learns about a young girl named Anne Frank and her extraordinary diary, Silver makes it his mission to ensure her tale is heard. But is the manuscript a work of art? A cultural treasure? Once publishers and producers get involved, it becomes "a very valuable product"-and his good intentions prove to be his undoing.

"Fascinating...The puppets eloquently express one of the play's major themes: how real life differs from stage life, how theater lies even when it tells the truth." -NY Times.
