A different slant formed the basis of Belper Players' production of Kindertransport, by Diane Samuels at the Lion Hotel for just one night.

It recountered how Jewish children were evacuated from Germany to England just before the Second World War, and particularly how it affected a nine-year-old girl as she left her mother, maybe never to see her again.

How she was welcomed by an English woman and the consequences thereof were graphically depicted at either end of the long stage area.

It was well acted with splendid attention to detail by director Darren Hall.

For instance, the correct wearing of wedding rings by continentals, a realistic-looking gas mask case, and excellent costumes, particularly footwear and jewellery.

Scenery of necessity was kept to a minimum, with a wealth of props to add authenticity.

The cast took on their roles efficiently, Chelsea Richter as the child mastering well her use of German.

Judith Undy and Maggie Burns played her mother at different ages, with Anne Taylor as the adoptive parent.

Who Jane Wilton and Sarah Eyre were was revealed as time went by, with Rob Chambers taking on various male characters.

With such a complex story it was a pity that there were sound difficulties as every word needed to be heard.

The Players have been on peregrinations of their own, having put on the play recently in St John's Chapel, and at Newhall.

Each was dedicated to the memory of Margaret Pooley, a long-serving and distinguished member who sadly died earlier in the year.
