Attempts on Her Life
07 Jul 2011 - 09 Jul 2011
By: Martin Crimp
Director: Paul Rider
Martin Crimp’s play presents ”17 scenarios for the theatre” in which nameless characters give conflicting accounts of a central character who never appears. The absent Anne is depicted as a terrorist, a porn star, a new make of car, a refugee and a contemporary artist.
Translated into more than 20 languages since its first performance at the Royal Court in 1997, this bold and innovative play examines both the ideas of what defines human existence, and indeed, what constitutes a play.
Cast includes:- Lia Albers, Megan Anstee, Daisy Ausden, Luiana Bonfin, Ellen Brammar, Gabriel Constantin, Rhiannon Drake, Emma Harriett, Lauren Harvey, Kevin Layne, Rosie McGuinness, Paula Roberts, Mark Thomas
