ATTENTION

Co-created by Jules Head and Georgia Bruce
Two women embrace each other while wearing matching black bikinis, smiling joyfully in a sunny outdoor setting.

You stand at the edge of the circle. 
You look across at them, standing there too.  
You love them. You know they love you. 
You’ve stood here every day for the last seven years.  
And every day, you’ve stepped inside. With them. Again and again and again. 

You look at them. You close your eyes. You hope they step in. You pray they step in. 

I love you I love you I love you I /  

What if love had a playbook? If we could play it like a sport? Would the rules make it easier? 

ATTENTION is a queer athletic play about love; about why and how we choose to pay attention; about the effort and sweat needed to build a life with someone and whether love is enough to save us. 

The actors have agency - every night they will choose to tell the story in a brand new way. No two shows can ever be the same. You will need to pay very, very close attention.
