ATTEMPTS ON HER LIFE
ATTEMPTS ON HER LIFE journeys through seventeen distinct but interconnected scenarios, as a group of unnamed characters try to piece together the identity of the mysterious Anne.
She’s a terrorist threat, she’s a mother of three,
She’s a cheap cigarette, she is ecstacy,
…She drives a tank over neonates,
while choosing to bank, at competitive rates…
…She’s an artificial tan, she’s the fat in the pan,
She’s the film in the can, she’s the shit in the fan
Consumerised, commodified, objectified – a globalised phenomenon, is the Anne ultimate post-modern heroine?
…driven by a radical contempt for the new global capitalism and its attempt to turn us all into depersonalised consumers… it is an act of theatre propelled by moral fervour.
