ATTEMPTS ON HER LIFE (2002, 2003)
by Martin Crimp

The West Coast premiere of Martin Crimp’s landmark piece in avant-garde theater was an enormous success, both accessible and ground-breaking. Attempts turns our definition of “play” on its head. Theater for those who think theater has nothing new to offer, Attempts On Her Life invited the audience to engage as post-modern detectives, yet kept them laughing, and cringing at their laughter, throughout.
Performed in San Francisco, Berkeley, and the Dell'Arte International School in Blue Lake California

“Sharp and brilliantly staged … Thought-provoking and deeply satisfying.” 
- SF Chronicle

“So much insight and humor…that I vowed to see whatever they do next.” - San Francisco Magazine
