Sexual violence, mentions of suicide, discriminatory language

We are opening auditions for an exciting ensemble cast of five in our production of the postmodern classic Attempts on Her Life!

Seventeen scenarios for the theatre, without characters or plot, attempt to deconstruct the shape-shifting figure of Anne, who is at times an urban terrorist, at others a movie star, and at others a machine. Attempts on Her Life by Martin Crimp is coming to BATS' Black Box.

We are looking for five committed and enthusiastic actors to take on a challenge! Attempts on Her Life is a bold and experimental postmodern piece of theatre, tackling heavy themes. We are looking for performers interested to stretch their abilities, shapeshift into multiple characters, have a go at movement and follow no plot!
