Second chance to see What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank at Marylebone Theatre
Theatre lovers who missed out on seeing the hugely popular What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank are in for a treat, because the play has returned to the Marylebone Theatre.
Playing for a strictly limited new run following a host of accolades and four and five star reviews. Starring Joshua Malina (West Wing and Big Bang Theory) and Simon Yadoo (the villain in Goldie Frocks and the Bear Mitzvah) joined by accomplished performers Dorothea Myer – Bennett, Caroline Catz and Gabriel Howell, the play is about two Jewish couples, one secular and the other ultra-Orthodox and tackles the huge issues that face so many Jewish people today.
Said the show’s general manager Lew Foreman: “We decided to extend the run because we had so much demand and such long waiting lists for tickets that we knew that more people wanted to have the opportunity to see the show.
“If you have seen the play, you know it is all about what is happening in the world right now – it hasn’t become any less relevant since we closed at the end of November 2024.
“We have slightly updated the script, but the message remains unchanged and continues to ring true.
“As soon as we had confirmation that our brilliant cast was available to extend the production there was no debate – we knew we had to do it.”
The play is directed by the multi-award-winning Patrick Marber and based on the Pulitzer-finalist short story by Nathan Englander.
What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank is at the Marylebone Theatre until February 15.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
