Festival Theatre Malvern, “Anastasia File", Wednesday 14th October at 2.30 pm

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. Memory, fact and fiction intertwine in this thrilling and moving drama that will keep you guessing
long after the curtain falls.

Jenny Seagrove (Judge John Deed) reprises her critically acclaimed performance in Royce Ryton’s The
Anastasia File, as part of The Theatre Royal Windsor Season on tour.

In Cheltenham, the coach has to drop us at the Bus station, about 7 minutes walk from the theatre.
