description:
A play focusing on the Ekaterinburg captivity of Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia Nikolaevna. During their arrest, they rehearse Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard.
unique features:
Imagines the tsar's daughters' perspective on their captivity. Also deals with the "officer's letters" escape plot.
similar to:
Waiting in Tobolsk: The Children of the Last Tsar
in my opinion:
Conveys the tension in the Ipatiev House very well, including a welcome dose of wry humor. However, some characterizations felt less than 3-dimensional to me. Tatiana in particular seemed somewhat caricatured.
