Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett's acclaimed stage adaptation of Anne Frank's World War II diary won the 1956 Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award, and Critics Circle Award. It ran on Broadway from 1955 to 1957 and was also adapted into a feature film. In the 1990s, Wendy Kesselman revised Goodrich and Hackett's play to incorporate some material that had been removed or censored from Frank's diaries when they were initially published. The revised version was staged on Broadway in 1997.
