The Horse in Motion
University Heights Center
Seattle, Washington
April 2014

Performed in an old elementary school building, Attempts on Her Life moved the audience between different floors, rooms and scenes, giving them an interactive and promenade theatre experience. A woman with various identities links all the scenes: she is the heroine of a film in one, a victim of civil war in another, an international terrorist, a porn star, and the subject of a conversation among friends. She is the living embodiment of Crimp's underlying declaration that coherent identity in the modern world is little more than myth.

"It's been a few years since a young new theater company burst onto the scene, making people sit up and take notice.Attempts on Her Life is a bracing hello. I'm already impatient to see what the Horse in Motion will do next." - Brendan Kiley, The Stranger

"...cohesive, devastating, and absolutely unforgettable." - Blair Peters, Drama in the Hood

"This is a great debut with impressive and concrete theatrical substance." - Miryam Gordon, Theatre Musings
