Attempts to destroy her? 

Here is a preview for one of the great local theatre shows in this years Ignition Fringe Festival. Attempts on Her Life is a play written by Martin Crimp and directed by Gaye Poole.

 

Attempts to describe her? Attempts to destroy her? Or attempts to destroy herself? Is Anne the object of violence? Or its terrifying practitioner? Martin Crimp's play in 17 scenarios is shocking and hilarious, a rollercoaster of obsessions. From ethnic violence to pornography, to terrorism and unprotected sex its strange array of nameless characters attempt to invent the perfect story to encapsulate our time.

[M] contains adult themes
