The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. The play, based on Anne Frank’s war-time diary, won the 1955 Pulitzer Prize. First produced in South Africa in two versions, one in Cape Town the other in Johannesburg. Leonard Schach’s version for the Cockpit Players opened on the 7th of January 1957 at the Hofmeyr Theatre and ran for seven weeks, in which time it broke every box-office and other record at the time. Cast members included Joyce Bradley, Johann Nell, Joss Ackland and Felicity Bosman. In Johannesburg Minna Schneier directed it in the same year for the Johannesburg Reps with Bodil Brink and Victor Lucas. Significantly its South African productions coincided with those in 24 other cities around the world.
