Anne of a Thousand Faces Premieres at Gene Frankel Theatre Festival – Aug 6–16

Anne of a Thousand Faces is a fierce, fast, and darkly funny one-act play that shatters the myths surrounding Anne Boleyn. At a high-stakes audition, an actor is asked to improvise Anne again and again—witch, martyr, seductress, strategist. Each version ends the same (beheaded). As the power games escalate, the line between performance and truth begins to blur—and the axe looms ever closer. Part satire, part reckoning, and wholly electric, this world-premiere production is a deconstruction of patriarchy, authorship, historical spin, and the price of being seen.
