In a series of 17 "scenarios for the theater", Martin Crimp presents a panoramic image of our age, a channel-hopping journey through the culture of the moment. From pornography and dance numbers to terrorist paranoia and luxury car advertisements, its compelling array of unnamed characters attempt to invent a story to capture our time in all its startling contradiction.

Attempts on Her Life premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London ten years ago and has been revived frequently since, most recently this past spring in a landmark production directed by Katie Mitchell at London’s National Theatre. The play has been performed all over the world and translated into more than 20 languages. Commonly hailed as Martin Crimp’s masterpiece, this is its Los Angeles premiere.

The designers of Attempts on Her Life are Chris Covics (set), Ann Closs-Farley & Suzanne Scott (costumes), Tony Mulanix (lighting), John Zalewski (sound), John Ballinger and Brenda Varda (musical composition & arrangement). Choreography provided by Diana Wyenn. Art Horowitz is the production dramaturg. The stage managers are Beth Mack and Tracey McAvoy.
