Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Anastasia File
“They defend me. They attack me. It seems to me the world is consumed with curiosity about me and will remain so for the rest of time. And I will tell you why. They don’t want the answer. They want the mystery.”
July 1918. Tsar Nicholas II and his family are brutally executed by the Bolsheviks in Ekaterinburg. Two years later in Berlin, a woman is pulled from a canal after a failed attempt to take her own life and is placed in an institutional facility. As Doctors and police puzzle over her identity, she slowly begins to reveal details about her past that bring about the suspicion that she may in fact be the Grand Duchess Anastasia, the heir to the Romanov fortune.
Inspired by the true story of Anne Manahan, whose thirty-year battle for recognition as the last surviving Romanov was one of the most popular historical mysteries of the twentieth century.
Jenny Seagrove (Judge John Deed) reprises her critically acclaimed performance in Royce Ryton’s The Anastasia File. Directed by Roy Marsden, Seagrove is joined by Simon Shepherd (Peak Practice), Ashley D. Gayle (The Shawshank Redemption) and Rosie Thomson (EastEnders).
Memory, fact and fiction intertwine in this thrilling and moving drama that will keep you guessing long after the curtain falls.
Tickets: £19.50 - £46.50
