They stand at the edge of a circle. They look across at her, standing there too. Every day, for the last seven years, they've both stepped inside. Together. Again and again and again. And today, they go again.
A queer play about why and how we choose to pay attention.
About the effort and sweat needed to build a life with someone.
About whether love is enough to save us.
Every night the actors will choose how to tell the story - they might restart, fast-forward, stop altogether. Every night, they navigate the truth of their relationship like a match between two players. Every night, they try to end on the same page.
Co-created by acclaimed director Jules Head and Bruntwood Prize shortlisted writer Georgia Bruce, ATTENTION was nominated for 7 awards at the Dublin Fringe Awards, including Best Production and the Radical Spirit Award. It has its UK premiere at The Bush Theatre, London, in 2026.
