Where to Sit

Attention plays in the Studio, the Bush's smaller space, where the audience is close to the stage. The front row can be reached without steps.

What's Attention About?

A couple, seven years together. Every day they meet in the same circle and go through it all again: the work it takes to build a life with someone, and whether love is enough to keep it going.

The twist is in how it's played. The two actors choose each night how to tell the story. They might go back to the start, fast-forward, or stop altogether, and they treat it like a match between two players, trying to end up on the same page.

The Bush calls it "a queer play about why and how we choose to pay attention". It started at the Dublin Fringe Festival in 2025, where it was nominated for seven awards, including Best Production.

Who's Attention For?

People who like a two-hander that changes from night to night, and anyone who has followed either actor's work in Dublin or London. It's for 14 and over.

Attention News and Reviews

Attention comes to London after its 2025 premiere at the Dublin Fringe, where it was nominated for seven Dublin Fringe Awards. Press night at the Bush is 23 November, and reviews will follow.
