Martin Crimp 
The Treatment (NHB Modern Plays) 

New York. A film studio. A young woman has an urgent story to tell.
But here, people are products, movies are money and sex sells. And the rights to your life can be a dangerous commodity to exploit.
Martin Crimp's razor-sharp satire, The Treatment, was first seen at the Royal Court Theatre in 1993. It was revived at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2017, in a production directed by Lyndsey Turner.

Over de auteur

Martin Crimp was born in 1956 and began writing for the theatre in the 1980s. Attempts on her Life, written in 1997, established his international reputation, and the plays that followed – among them, The Country, Cruel and Tender (written for director Luc Bondy), The City and In the Republic of Happiness – have been seen by audiences across the world. In 2006, an encounter with composer George Benjamin led to the creation of three operas, Into the Little Hill, Written on Skin and Lessons in Love and Violence. His most recent work, The rest will be familiar to you from cinema, commissioned by the Schauspielhaus Hamburg in 2013, and directed by Katie Mitchell, was voted foreign author’s best play of the year.
