(George Bernard) Annajanska, the Bolshevik Empress Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annajanska,_the_Bolshevik_Empress Produced by Eve Sobol, and David Widger "Annajanska, the Bolshevik Empress" by George Bernard Shaw is a theatrical piece that falls into the category of a drama, written during the early 20th century. This play was performed in the aftermath of World War I and during the volatile period of the Russian Revolution, reflecting the radical changes in power and society at that time. The plot engages with significant themes including the conflict between tradition and revolution, loyalty and betrayal, and the evolving role of women amidst societal upheaval. The story revolves around Grand Duchess Annajanska, who defies her aristocratic heritage by eloping with a young officer and embracing the revolutionary fervor of her time. Within a military office on the east front of Beotia, General Strammfest and Lieutenant Schneidekind wrestle with the chaos of shifting governments and allegiances as Annajanska's actions challenge their established views. Strammfest, loyal to the fallen monarchy, finds himself torn between his beliefs and the changing world, especially in his interactions with Annajanska, who is determined to save the Revolution rather than her royal lineage. The tension between the characters encapsulates the larger societal struggles, revealing Annajanska's transformation into a symbol of defiance and change amidst the backdrop of a collapsing empire.
