Attempts on her Life at University of California Berkeley - Zellerbach Playhouse

Theatre Lunatico will present Attempts On Her Life, a contemporary postmodern play that offers insight, misdirection, contradictions, and commentary on the life of the protagonist Anne the "her" of the title. Through an intentionally ambiguous gauntlet of 17 seemingly disparate scenes, playwright Martin Crimp attempts to define who Anne is (or was?) through hot button topics including pop-culture, political violence, and personal identity, among others. Theatre Lunatico's interpretation will be physical, intimate, and theatrical as the all-women ensemble grapples with the scenes in the script that so accurately reflect the chaos of the current day. Attempts On Her Life will be directed by Michael Barr and feature Devon DeGroot, Eileen Fisher, Jennifer Greene, Shawn Oda, Kateryna Ponomarenko, and Lauri Smith.
