A new stage production of 'The Diary Of Anne Frank' will re-imagine the story as one about Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents hunting for illegal immigrants, rather that Nazis persecuting Jews.

Stan Zimmerman, a former 'Roseanne' writer from the sitcom's original run, will direct the show, which opens on September 6 at the Dorie Theatre in Los Angeles.

The classic play is by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, and received a Tony nomination in a new adaptation by Wendy Kesselman that was performed on Broadway.

The original play tells the story of Anne Frank, whose famous diary told the story of a Jewish family in hiding during the WWII Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.

The new production will re-interpret the story as one of illegal immigrants hiding from ICE agents, a promotional notice in Broadway World explains.

'Zimmerman's unique take on the staging was inspired by the true story of a Jewish woman in Los Angeles who created a 'Safe House' for a Latina mother and her two daughters after her husband was deported by ICE,' the notice reads.

'The characters in the attic will be played by a LatinX cast.'

Genesis Ochoa will star in the show as Anne Frank, and the cast includes Keith Coogan, Tasha Dixon, David Gurrola, Heather Olt, Raquenel, Robert C. Raicch, Teddi Shaffer, Raymond Abel Tomas, and Emiliano Torres.

In May, director Zimmerman spoke out in an interview with Buzzfeed News to criticize Roseanne Barr for her reboot of the sitcom he once wrote for.

'A lot of people involved in the show were surprised when she turned right-wing and supported Trump, because that was just not the person or her character that we had known,' Zimmerman said.

His new production casting ICE agents in the role of villainous Nazis comes as Democrats increasingly call for the federal agency to be abolished.

Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Elizabeth Warren have called for ICE to be abolished, as have New York Mayor Bill de Blasio Democrat rising star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Congressional candidate.
