Attempts on Her Life -- Martin Crimp
From Wikipedia :
(Martin) Crimp’s play Attempts on Her Life, which premiered at London’s Royal Court Theatre in 1997, was, according to critic Aleks Sierz, the “event that secured his reputation as the most innovative, most exciting and most exportable playwright of his generation.” [Sierz, Aleks, Aleks, (2013) p.48][1] In this work, none of the lines is assigned to a particular character, nor does Crimp specify how many actors should perform the piece. In seventeen apparently disconnected scenes, groups of people give mutually contradictory descriptions of an absent protagonist, a woman talked of as if she were, variously, a terrorist, the daughter of grieving parents, an artist and a new car. This deliberately fragmented work challenges an audience to re-define its notion of what constitutes a "play" and might seem to question whether someone has any existence beyond the models we construct.
