Title: Cryptobiose
Post by: fburnf on June 27, 2009, 09:53:33 PM

Hi...
I'm excited and at the same time stressed. :-) !!!!
I found work in www "Cryptobiose" seems to be a collective script in which participated  Sarah Kane.
Someone knows something?
If there is a publication, a book, or similar?
Pleaseeee..let me know

Hi,

An interesting link.  It isn't something that Sarah Kane (or Edward Bond, another person named) worked on.  I think it is a piece by Sawsan Bou Khaled which includes some excerpts from existing plays by Kane and by Bond.  I couldn't find a date for this piece, but I guess it is quite recent.

The complete works of Kane are:
- the five plays (Blasted, Phaedra's Love, Cleansed, Crave, 4.48 Psychosis)
- the screenplay Skin
- the unpublished monologues that form Sick (and were incorporated into the other plays)
- two newspaper articles

I don't know of anything else she wrote, but any updates welcome.


Thanks for this link, it was useful to find it, even if it isn't new writing by Kane, and I will add it to the site, probably on the links pages.

Iain

Hi Iain...
probably you are right ... !!!!
I was very impressed with the poster of the show, as well as the concept of criptobiosis, the reference to cockroaches - human .. which is the incipit of 4.48 psychosis..
Tanks for ìyuor reply.

She did write one other piece that was eventually published in the 'Brooklyn Rail' in Dec 2008. For this, see the thread 'Sarah meets Jackie Mason' on this board.
