This is For You, Anna is a 1983 play devised by The Anna Collective. Initially developed as a 20-minute production for the Women's Perspective Festival,[1] This is For You, Anna was re-written into a longer piece that premiered in 1984. The show went on to tour Canada and Britain throughout the 1980s.[2] The play was created collectively in response to the crimes of German woman Marianne Bachmeier, who walked into a courtroom and shot the man who killed her daughter.[3] The feminist play explores themes of violence, revenge, domesticity, and questions the roles of western women at the end of the 20th century.
