Description
Blasted: A Powerful Exploration of Human Suffering Sarah Kane's seminal play Blasted is a provocative and fragmenting piece that probes the brutality people inflict upon one another. This Student Edition features expert annotation, including a scene-by-scene summary, commentary on dramatic, social, and political context, themes, characters, language, and structure. First performed in 1995, Blasted sent shockwaves through the theatrical world with its depiction of rape, torture, and violence in civil war. The play's canonical status reflects the raw beauty and terror of Kane's writing, which delves into darkness to explore the role of love and redemption. This edition provides a comprehensive guide for anyone studying or performing the play. With its unflinching examination of human suffering, Blasted is a significant work of European theatre that continues to be studied and performed today.
