The City
Son of Semele Ensemble
( 08/17/2012 - 09/30/2012 )
Running Time: 80 minutes
Clair, a translator, will not write stories of her own. Her characters feel lifeless just like the piano playing of her neighbor Jenny, a nurse whose husband is away fighting in a mysterious and secret war. Clair’s husband Christopher fears that restructuring at work will cause him to lose his job and, to make matters worse, his marriage is deteriorating quickly. Nothing is as it seems and truth is stranger than fiction in this austere play about the abruptly shifting landscape of contemporary life. Martin Crimp’s most acclaimed play, "Attempts On Her Life," premiered at London’s Royal Court Theatre in 1997 and received a revival at the Royal National Theatre in 2007 directed by Katie Mitchell. Ms. Mitchell directed the world premiere of "The City" at the Royal Court Theatre in 2008. This production marks the play's American premiere.
