Sarah Kane Sarah Kane (1971 - 1999) As a teenager, Sarah Kane was a committed Christian, but after her degree in drama at Bristol University and MA at Birmingham in Playwriting, she rejected these beliefs. As well as writing, she directed other's work, and she also worked hard to encourage other writers in their work. For many years she battled with severe depression and at the age of 28 she committed suicide. Sarah Kane's first play 'Blasted', opened at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs in 1995. It became hugely controversial, with its scenes of dark, violent brutality and cruelty leading to attacks by critics and more widely by sections of the press.
Her next play, 'Phaedra's Love', is a modern reworking of the myth of Phaedra's doomed love for her stepson Hippolytus, and was first performed in 1996. Like 'Blasted' it was dark in tone and featured graphic scenes of violence, and its production was highly contentious. Her third play 'Cleansed' was staged two years later. Although her later works 'Crave' and '4.48 Psychosis' were different in style they had a similarly strong impact.

It premiered at The Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in August 1998, but was first heard as a reading as part of a programme run by Paines Plough.
It was aired under a pseudonym largely so the play could be heard without the attendant baggage of her notorious reputation for graphic staged violence. It has no plot in any conventional sense, nor any physical action; Kane's script denotes the characters by initial letters only, and includes no stage directions of any kind other than indicating where to leave a beat between what are almost invariably single, brief lines. The work resembles a spoken poem and the lines include quotation, oblique reference and occasional lines in other languages. The gender of each character is only identifiable from context within the play. 'Crave' continues the theme of pain in love that Kane had explored with previous plays.

This is not the usual stance for the director of a show, granted, but the truth is not so very far from the flippant.

Where does one start? From the moment I first read the play, I knew there was something magical locked within it.
