DalTheatre’s start to the Fountain School’s 2026-2027 season.
DalTheatre’s 2026-2027 season opener, Attempts on Her Life, brings Dalhousie Acting, Composition, Costume Studies, Music, Technical Theatre, and Set Design students together to launch the Fountain School’s 2026-2027 season.
Martin Crimps Attempts on Her Life is an enigmatic work which fractures the mold of the well-written play. Provocative, shocking, lurid and hilarious, the play delves into many of the preoccupations of late capitalistic society, highlighting the impact of mass media and consumerism on the commodification and objectification of human lives.
Content includes themes of substance use, violence, abuse, trauma, suicide, discrimination, racism, ethnic cleansing, war, terrorism, sexual exploitation, pornography, and strong language. The work contains depictions of simulated sexual activity and adult themes.
Staging includes the use of strobe, flicker and flash, lighting effects and loud explosive noises. Some references and depictions may be upsetting for audience members.
