Anna/Anastasia
8th - 12th October
After the execution of the entire Romanov family, rumours began to circulate that Grand Duchess Anastasia somehow survived. Four years later, in a Berlin asylum, Anna Anderson convinces the doctor she is that girl.
Anna ends up living the charmed but chaotic life of an aristocrat as she achieves worldwide fame, but is she the rightful heir to the throne? Or is she just a lucky chancer?
From acclaimed comedian and writer Jonny Donahoe, Anna/Anastasia is a hilarious comedy inspired by the true story of Anna Anderson, the greatest imposter of the 20th century.
Lost Girls/At Bus Stops
15th - 19th October
It’s the Edinburgh Fringe and the city is suddenly bursting at the seams.
Every cul-de-sac and kebab shop is alive with the effervescent fizzing of potential - it is the moment where dreams are made, and hearts are broken.
Jess and Iona are searching... for the greatest show, the finest view, that illusive best chip. As they wrestle with their past and try to avoid the future, they struggle to find the words to confess what they’re really feeling about each other.
Lost Girls/At Bus Stops is an epic queer romance and a love letter to the world’s greatest and most magical arts festival.
Detained
22nd - 26th October
Between slogans and party-political hard lines, the people in the middle go unnoticed. The people clearing your plates, serving your drinks, your colleagues, your friends.
Bea and Yemi are best friends, basically sisters. It never crossed Yemi's mind that Bea would ever betray her, it never crossed Bea's that Yemi would lie. When Bea catches her boyfriend with someone else, it sets off a chain of events that lands Yemi behind bars at a detention centre, with Bea desperately trying to escape what she's done.
Detained is a tense new drama about two best friends and the broken British immigration system.
