Attempts Of Her Life

Attempts of Her Life / Case A was Myllyteatteri’s first full-length production.

Martin Crimp’s mosaic-like play Attempts of Her Life (Finnish translation by Reita Lounatvuori) premiered at Myllysali on 29 September 2004.

“First, it must be said that the new theatre has found a remarkable new performance space. Myllyteatteri takes its name from an old mill hall hidden within the Suomenlinna fortress… whose high vaulted dome naturally shapes itself into a stage and auditorium…
And within such surroundings, it is hardly surprising that a play set in the streets of Prague, Vienna, and Paris takes on the outward form of exuberant baroque. Director Miira Sippola’s analysis is compelling: has Western culture not, in many ways, come full circle and returned to the spirit of the baroque?”
