Eleanor Stankiewicz: Nanna-stasia

When Eleanor was 7, she saw the classic 1998 film Anastasia and was convinced that the heroine was her Nanna. The truth would prove to be much more incredible... A heart-warming story that will make you laugh and cry in equal measure. A brand-new show from Eleanor Stankiewicz: actor, improvisor and serial day-dreamer.

WINNER Sydney Fringe 2019's NIDA Writer of the Year Award and FRINGE WORLD's Tour Ready Award.
