Anastasia
By Marcelle Maurette
Directed by Jenny Nash
6th - 10th September 2016 at 7.30pm
1930’s Berlin hums with a rumour that the Czar’s youngest daughter had escaped the bullets at Ekaterinburg in 1918.
Prince Bounine, intent on exploiting the fortune and nostalgia of the Russian exiles, finds an amnesiac waif on the point of suicide.
She is carefully groomed for the part and makes a convincing impersonation but has to pass one final hurdle -
that of meeting the still living Dowager Empress of Russia, the woman who’s granddaughter she is claiming to be.
Anastasia was voted Best Production for 2015/2016 in our Exeter Drama Company in house awards.
Phoebe Guy also won Best Actress for her part as Anna in this play, and Ed Heeley as Prince Bounine won Best Actor.
