Some flashing lights. Some sexual imagery
Hello, we are Haste Theatre… probably.
We are going to tell you the absolute truth and the best story you will ever hear – honestly!
Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov is shot in a very real basement.
A woman definitely jumps into icy depths, from a very existent bridge… we think.
Someone escapes a gruesome end, possibly?
And it’s all 100% completely true.
Promise.
Multi-award winning Haste Theatre use genre blending physical theatre to lead you through their wild and playful version of a story steeped in fact and history, which unravels both.
Who was the real Anastasia? And in the words of the woman herself, “believe me or don’t, what does it matter?”

Haste Theatre
Haste is a multidisciplinary, international, devised theatre company. A unified force of 4 women who create fantastical worlds to portray the everyday. We are multilingual actors, clowns, dancers, creators and puppeteers. Our work celebrates the vulnerability and unpredictability of live performance. We use a patchwork of disciplines to reinvent old stories and create new ones. Our shows sit in the uncomfortable place between laughter and tears.
Fusing comedy and tragedy – we shock, stimulate and entertain. We create magic through simplicity. We have devised and produced 6 original productions and toured extensively throughout the UK, Italy and the U.S.
