Attempts On Her Life

Attempts on Her Life

by Martin Crimp 

Seventeen scenarios, no plot and no characters: Martin Crimp’s modern classic is an unconventional theatre experience. Casting a forensic light on the way that language is used to create competing versions of the ‘truth’,  Attempts on Her Life is an experimental exploration of identity and how we describe and invent ourselves and our personal biographies.
