Description
Blasted by Sarah Kane is a powerful and provocative play that sparked controversy when it first premiered in 1995. Its unflinching portrayal of violence, rape, and torture in the midst of civil war made headlines and challenged critics with its brutal honesty. The Evening Standard described the play as "sheer unadulterated brutalism", highlighting Kane's uncompromising approach to exploring the darkest aspects of human nature. This edition, published in 2002, offers a new perspective on a work that continues to be relevant today. With just 61 pages, Blasted is a concise and intense drama that demands attention from its audience. If you're interested in a play that pushes boundaries and challenges your expectations, this is a book worth considering.
