Attempts On Her Life

"Anne? Brilliant. It’s moving. It’s timely. It’s distressing. It’s funny. It’s sexy. It’s deeply serious. It’s entertaining. It’s illuminating. It’s cryptic. It’s dark. Let’s meet. Call me."

Directed by Angelica Clunes & Samuel Boyd, Split Focus brings 'Attempts on Her Life' by Martin Crimp to Centrepoint Arcade in a dynamic, site-specific adventure reverberating with a late 20th century aesthetic. Audiences move from one room to the next in a phantasmagoria of images, examining how a single moment can impact on a life, and how quickly an identity can be demolished. Moving between comedy, pop-opera, campfire ghost-story and absurdist tragedy, this compelling work leaves the audience to decide who Anne could be in this brilliant theatrical labyrinth.

In a media-drenched world obsessed with uncovering the ‘truth’, 'Attempts on Her Life' by Martin Crimp is a hilarious theatre work of 17 scenarios that explore our understanding of the human psyche.

With Danae Reid, Emily Carr, Finn Alexander, Helene Dunlop, Joanna Bakker, Kashmira Mohamed Zagor + Rayhan Maskun.
