"Attempts on Her Life" at UC Berkeley

Attempts on her Life

by Martin Crimp
Directed by Scott Wallin
Zellerbach Playhouse
October 7-16, 2011
Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm

Her name is Annie. Or Anya. Or is it Annushka? Those who know her describe an artist, a physicist, a mother, a terrorist, dead, or alive. Martin Crimp’s groundbreaking experimental play asks who has the right to name us, and what power does that naming have? Do attempts to represent Annie turn her into a victim? Or do they reveal her own complicity in acts of brutality? You decide.
