...Perhaps because Natalie Portman's Anne is a little short on stage charisma, the story shifts slightly away from her and more toward the complex ensemble of people coping with their terror and with one another. George Hearn as Otto Frank has a hushed dignity; the Van Daans (Harris Yulin and Linda Lavin) seem less foolish and more touching than before. The play was a professional Broadway job to begin with; now it sometimes reaches poetry...
...with Jack as its hero, so he is a known quantity -- a humanist spook with an overdeveloped moral sense -- but Ford, playing the part for the second time, knows how to keep his earnestness fresh. Meanwhile, Donald Moffat's President is tough and unctuous, his National Security Adviser (Harris Yulin) is tough and tense, and his chief aide (Henry Czerny) is tough and tough...

In the production that opened off-Broadway last week, she is aided by a superb cast, including Jane Alexander and Harris Yulin as the parents and Bethel Leslie as the dying aunt -- all established stars who delicately avoid star turns -- and the exceptional Clayton Barclay Jones and Angela Goethals as the children. Heidi Landesman's brilliantly simple sets fill a postage-stamp stage with bits of cloth to create a mountain, a river, a campsite...
