Attempts On Her Life
Lyttelton, National Theatre, London from 14 March 2007
Attempts to describe her?
Attempts to destroy her?
Or attempts to destroy herself?
Is Anne the object of violence?
Or its terrifying practitioner?
Shocking and hilarious by turn, Martin Crimp’s play
is a rollercoaster of late 20th-century obsessions. From pornography and
ethnic violence, to terrorism and unprotected sex, its strange array of nameless
characters attempt to invent the perfect story to encapsulate our time.
Since its premiere 10 years ago, Attempts on her Life has
been translated into more than 20 languages. This is its first major UK revival.
