The Play "Attempted Loneliness"

A man wants to stay free.

A woman wants him to stay with her.

And Hanoch Levin turns this familiar story into an absurd, cruel, and very funny game.

In "Attempted Loneliness", love bears little resemblance to a pretty romantic story. Here, it is manipulated, demanded, fled from, and bargained over—yet people are still terrified of being left without it.

It is a dark comedy about our inability to be together and our even greater inability to be alone.

No moralizing. Just absurdity, grotesquery, physicality, and that uncomfortable truth you first laugh at—and then recognize in yourself.
