Sarah Kane Blasted
Blasted in Dublin, Ireland.

Bedrock Productions, a professional theatre company in Dublin, Ireland will present the Irish premiere of Blasted from 22 Nov - 8 Dec 2001 in the Project Arts Centre in Dublin. The director is Jimmy Fay, and the players are Lalor Roddy, Aidan Kelly and Fiona O’Shaughnessy. "This is a play that deals with the visceral and emotional landscape of love. Ian and Cate enter a hotel room to continue (or not) their affair. Here the world outside blasts through with the force of a nightmare…Its disturbing and apocalyptic view of human nature, influenced by Kane’s feelings on the Bosnian war, brings us a bleak world full of violence. It shows us the thin line between love and hate, civilisation and barbarity. Blasted by Sarah Kane will shock you into the stark realisation of what our world could become."

"Zwei Frauen und zwei Männer begeben sich auf eine Reise, eine Reise in gemeinsame Vergangenheiten, eine Reise in eine ungewisse Zukunft. Ihre Identität ist unklar, sie tragen keine Namen (mehr), nur die Bezeichnungen A, B, C, M. Sprechend versuchen sie, sich anzunähern. Sie sprechen miteinander, gegeneinander, aneinander vorbei, ineinander verschlungen: Über verstörende Erinnerungen, über ihr Verlangen, ihre Gier nach Freundschaft, Geborgenheit und nach Liebe. Liebe, das malträtierte Gefühl, die Unmöglichkeit und die Möglichkeit, sie zu leben. Sprechend versuchen sie, das schmerzhafte Leben, Gewalt und Tod, den dunklen Engel Gottes, zu überwinden."Click here for details.

Site visitor Sandra says "Last thursday was the premiere for 4.48 Psychosis. The other two plays had already made me fall in love for Sarah's writing but watching Psychosis was just overwhelming. I had already read it because a friend gave me the Complete Plays book as a present but seeing it on stage by such awesome actors it was like it was her there...  sometimes i just forgot i was a mere spectator... I read somewhere that Sarah wanted us to feel it as a punch in the stomach.. i felt it all over my body...". Thanks to Sandra for the info and the pictures.
