Keeping Faith With Thea Past

"The Daiary of Anne Frank" .....TIna Massey's production has great detail going for it. Most of today's audiences are too young to have experienced the war, and even the rest have had no actula experience of living in occupied territory, let alone belonging to the hunted Jewish minority.

Let us, then, salute Tina Massey and the cast for conveying with such fidelity to detail what it must have been like for  those eight fugitives holed up above a warehouse in Amsterdam, living each day for two years in constant fear of exposure and arrest.

But for the diary of the remarkable teenager Anne Frank we would never have known the truth. The point is, will we remember the lesson?

Sian Richardson gives a performance of poise and great sensitivity as Anne. And in the drama being played around her young life, Terry Neale ia a pillar of strength as her father, the natural leader of the group.

The production is strongest at moments of tension and crisis. Quarrels flare up, and the mintue details of everyday existsnce become absurdly exaggerated.

Brian Scoltock and Carol Muday play the edgy and selfish Van Daans, and Geoff Menday is their son Peter, whose affection for Anne at laast breaks through the shell of his shyness.
