Attempts on Her Life

Attempts on Her Life
by Martin Crimp

Presented by VCA Acting and Design and Production
Directed by Leticia Cáceres

No plot. No characters. No play.
And yet, where is Anne? Indeed, who is Anne? And how is it that this script can cut through flesh, to the bone? This is tennis, tight-rope walking, and society, without the net.

One of the theatre’s most powerful postdramatic plays, it is disturbing, playful and prescient.

PARKING

The City of Melbourne has recently changed the parking restrictions around the Southbank Campus. Parking control hours are now expanded to 7am–10pm, seven days per week, and are capped at three hours. A $2-per-hour fee after 7pm is also now in place. There is no change to the $4-per-hour peak rate between 7am–7pm. Parking inspectors are regularly in the area fining drivers who overstay their meter, so we encourage everyone to be aware and avoid an expensive fine. More information.
