ANNA by Ella Hickson
A radical play set in East Berlin in 1968, unfolding with all the tension of a spy thriller and the inexorable revelations of an Ibsen drama.'A swift spy thriller set during the Cold War that's as slick and stylish as it is technologically savvy.. a wonderfully plotted play, full of history, mystery and horror... oppressive, intense, and impressively intelligent'
* The Stage *'Unpredictable to the last; every time you think you know where things are going, Hickson's script thrills in proving you wrong and the tension never drops... consistently gripping, Anna is a superb spy drama'
* BritishTheatre.com *'From the start, the action is taut... it twists and turns, consistently pulling on the threads that join public and private spaces together'
* A Younger Theatre *'Electrifying... as unsettling as it is nail-biting... a thrilling hour of Cold War drama that is tautly told... Anna is a rare thing of beauty: a play one hates to stop watching'
* The Reviews Hub *'Marvellous... a political thriller with a retro edge... a complex multilayered plot worthy of Le Carré'
* The Times *'Intimate and disturbing'
* Observer *'A layered, engrossing and remarkable piece... constantly challenges us to look anew, to change our focus'
* WhatsOnStage *'Fascinating... Anna is both an audio experiment and an investigation of the lies and suspicion surrounding life in communist East Berlin'
* Guardian *Ella Hickson's previous plays include The Writer and Oil at the Almeida, Wendy & Peter Pan for the RSC, Boys, Precious Little Talent and Eight.
