An imaginative interpretation of the last remaining hours of the Romanoff’s lives is the starting point for Howard Barker’s Hated Nightfall. As the doomed Royal Family in the wake of the Russian revolution barter for survival they are kept hostage by their enemies. But the man in control, Dancer, the former tutor of the Royal children, appearing as both saint and sadist, has been personally invited by Lenin to oversee their execution. However he also has his own agenda. Hull College BA (Hons) Acting students present their production of Hated Nightfall at Hull Truck: An energetic, mediatised, interpretation of Russia’s loss of its imperial reign.
