Clifton Frei, Mikayla De Guzman, Felix Mayes, Bide Akande, Seoyoung Park and Amy Gorelow in “Attempts On Her Life” by TUTA Theatre. It is perhaps telling that theater companies attempting risky, edgy, provocative work increasingly find themselves looking to the not-so-distant past.
It’s a most welcome return. I’m very glad you are back, TUTA. The scene has been the more impoverished for your long absence. This is one weird deconstruction of a play. I have the script on my shelf and it’s near incomprehensible on the page, more like some kind of experimental choreopoem than a traditional play. There is no designated set and no conventionally recurring characters with specific lines . There is dialogue but it can be split up very much as the director so chooses.
