Anastasia is a 1952 historical drama stage play written by French dramatist Marcelle Maurette, which is in turn inspired by the story of Anna Anderson, the best known of the many Anastasia impostors who emerged after the Imperial family were murdered in July 1918. Anastasia premiered in French in France, and caught the attention of Guy Bolton who wanted to adapt it to English.
