Biography[]
Early life[]
At some point, Grigori Rasputin became a known mystic in Russia.
Prior to 1916, the Rasputin healed Alexei Romanov, the son of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra Romanova, of his disease. A turn of events caused Rasputin and Alexandra to fall for each other.[1]

The script relies upon characters who rarely reach beyond their own clichéd origins. There is the slick journalist, the decadent aristocrat, the conservative wife, none of whom are given any original twist. What saves these characters is the acting. Joseph Chance is a stand out as Halliday, the fast talking and fast thinking American who is keen for the truth and even keener for a good story. Joanna Griffin is also terrific, bringing skill and grace to the stage in all sorts of roles.
The cast and story do their best work in odd little vignettes. Flashbacks that might work well as standalone ske
