Attempts on her Life: Home

Martin Crimp’s Attempts on her Life is playing at the National Theatre from 8 March – 10 May.

A roller-coaster of late 20th-century obsessions, the play covers pornography to ethnic violence, terrorism to unprotected sex – a perfect story to encapsulate our time. This is its first major UK revival since 1997.

It is directed by Katie Mitchell, whose recent production Waves was a sell-out success at the National. Expect live music, high decibels and multi-media effects - this production has 90s nostalgia with a contemporary twist.
