Description
4.48 Psychosis is a powerful and deeply personal work, written by Sarah Kane during a period of intense struggle with depression. The piece is presented as a poem, with no characters or narrative voice, leaving the reader to interpret its meaning.
First performed in 1999, the play explores the inner world of a single individual, blurring the lines between reality and madness. Its concise and enigmatic nature has sparked intense debate and discussion among audiences and scholars alike.
Published in 2008, 4.48 Psychosis is a testament to the enduring power of theatre to capture the complexities of the human experience.
