The best scenes

• the dream about the doctor giving her eight minutes to live, after she'd been waiting for half an hour in the waiting room (from 4.48 Psychosis)
• the separate and related stories from Crave
• Cate's role in Blasted
• the line in Cleansed 'Love me or Kill me Graham'
• most of 4.48 Psychosis
• the final images of Blasted
• the end of Blasted
• that Graham has to kill the gayman, in order to make him stop loving his companion
• A's monologue in Crave, about all the things he wants to do with/re his lover. The most beautiful love monologue ever
• the end of Phaedra's Love

• it is myself I have never met, whose face is pasted on the underside of my mind....please open the curtains (4:48 Psychosis)
• the interaction between Hippolytus and Phaedra when she first tells him she loves him
• doctor this and doctor that who was just passing and thought he would pop in and take the piss as well (4.48 Psychosis)
• A´s monologue in Crave
• Strophe and Phaedra scene
• the scene in 4.48 Psychosis when she becomes the fault of all the disaster in the world
• a dotted line on the throat/ Cut here (4.48 Psychosis)
• the use of the dead soldier for comfort by Ian in Blasted
• Rod's "I love you now. I'm with you now..." speech in Cleansed
• Phaedra's Love- when H. is tender to S. (his step-sister); his only tender moment. What a stark change from the rest of the play. For those who don't like Phaedra's Love you really must read it for its cynicism; its commentary on the brute eroticism of violent sex

• in Cleansed when Robin is forced to eat the chocolates, and when Grace wakes up after her operation. But these are not "favourites." They are not likeable. They are crystallised nightmares that happen to be reflections of experiences in reality
• having just performed 4:48 Psychosis, I would have to say that the 'f**k you, f**k you' scene is one of my faves!
• the end of 4.48 as the curtains were opened--pure shock
• soldier cries whilst raping Ian (royal court production) shows his humanity through his brutality (Blasted)
• when Cate sucks Ian's cock (Blasted)
• "Sometimes I turn around and catch the smell of you and I cannot go on I cannot f**king go on without expressing this terrible so f**king awful physical aching f**king longing I have for you. And I cannot believe that I can feel this for you and you feel nothing. Do you feel nothing?" 4.48 Psychosis
• Carl (Cleansed)
• the whole of 4.48 Psychosis
• the last scene in Blasted
• take an overdose, slit my wrists, then hang myself. / ... / it couldn't possibly be misconstrued as a cry for help

• the soldier's rape of Ian in Blasted. Then he lists far worse atrocities he's seen/done. He tells Ian "so don't get tragic about your arse"
• when she wakes up and says "sleep with a dog and rise full of fleas"
• the conclusion of Cleansed - An excellent and extremely useful site
• the first scene in Blasted, which is a really funny & also disturbing portrait of a dysfunctional relationship, laced with a deadly humour reminiscent of Alf Garnett. Kane was very very funny at times (which most people don't recognise)
• A's monologue in Crave
• I am fascinated by the grotesque images of Cleansed, the mixture of violence and tenderness. For example the beating of Grace and the following daffodils growing up from the floor. Or Carl being amputated still claiming his love to Rod
• the love monologue in Crave
• everyone's said it, but A's monologue about his lover in Cleansed. Stunning and very beautiful
• the final scene in Blasted
• the dissecting in Cleansed

• when Cate performs oral sex to Ian while he's confessing he's a killer (Blasted)
• the monologue from Crave
• the beginning of 4.48
• all of 4:48 psychosis
• the scene (Crave) where one of the four repeats again and again "what have they done to me" (that is, in Dutch, don't know the original English). Second best: where one says: this...is real. Really real. You know. Real. Look. Real
• all of Blasted
• have you made any plans. Take an overdose, slash my wrists and hang myself. All those things together? It couldn't possibly be misconstrued as a cry for help.
• Crave is about unreciprocated love--- "a voice in the desert", a vain cry smashed to bits and pieces of distorted meanings--- a hopeless clinging to life. Death is therefore the only release
• last scene of Cleansed, with Grace, now looking exactly like Graham holding on to Carl's stump
• the end of 4.48 Psychosis

• the recitation of prescriptions and medications in 4.48 Psychosis. Illustrates the gulf between the hard chemistry of treatment and the intangible pain of depression
• the whole of 4.48 Psychosis, especially the medical notes, so scary it's almost funny
• "I have a bad bad feeling about this bad bad feeling!" A line in Crave
• the whole of Crave really...it's the only one I've read so far
• all of the speeches performed by Jo McInnes at the Royal Court's production of 4:48 Psychosis, particularly the f*ck speech. (You know the one I mean)
• all of 4.48 Psychosis, A's monologue in Crave, the line about the will at the start of Crave
• 4.48 psychosis-of course I love you, you saved my life, I wish you hadn't bit
• the A monologue in Crave --- it's an open wound --- please open the curtains
• the love monologue in Crave
• I don't think I have a best scene or best play, but it's more the nature of the work that I like. A very very cold eye

• always thought that the world didn' t smell fresh paint and flowers (Phaedra' s Love)
• the castration of Hippolytus in Phaedra
• the "F*ck You" monologue from 4.48 Psychosis is awesome. I recently performed it at a poetry slam and got applause for it...people cheered...it was one of the best feelings of my life. Everything about that play, actually. But that monologue in particular was great. And Cleansed. Mustn't forget Cleansed. Everything about Cleansed too
• Ask. Me. Why. (4.48 Psychosis)
• scene, don't know; the picture "The scream of a daffodil" (Crave)
• Crave: Yes No Yes Yes No Yes... ... Aargh!... Ogcth! Argtch!... ...
• end of Act 1 of Blasted
• Ian's rape scene in Blasted
• every single thing about Cleansed is powerful and cathartic and frightening. It is the most awesome piece of writing I have ever encountered. And the final lines in 4.48 Psychosis
• if you don't like Plath, why bother to write it? Surely this is a waste of your time

• the outpouring of love in Crave. Kane has managed to put together a train of thought monologue that all at once makes you realise that love isn't just a warm and fuzzy feeling, but a complete dedication to someone that makes you think of nothing but that
• in Cleansed, Rod tells Carl that he can only promise to love him right now, right there. He can promise nothing more, but ultimately it is his love that lasts
• the opening of 4.48 Psychosis - the scene after Phaedra's death
• Hippolytus and Phaedra scene four
• Favourite line is at the end of Phaedra's Love: "If only there could have been more moments like this". Favourite stage direction from Cleansed. "Tinker cuts Karl's hands off, Karl tries to pick them up, he can't, he doesn't have any hands"
• all of Crave
• I dread the loss of her I've never touched, love keeps me a slave in a cage of tears [...] I can fill my time, fill my space, but nothing can fill this void in my heart, the vital need for which I would die.
  breakdown
• considering there are no stage directions or scene titles I believe I can count 4:48 psychosis as one long scene and as the best ever played out in the human mind
• A's monologue in Crave
• the long silence as the solder in Blasted eats two English breakfasts while Ian looks on. I love Kane's willingness to take an uncomfortable pause

• (Only seen 4:48 Psychosis) It's so pure that one will stain it just by looking at it... she goes to the one absolute, the central point of choices, where everything comes down to nothing. Then she states the infinite variance between the extremes used by the society... Black snow... bringing down the shame on society itself, the mostly unspoken rules that are written in every individual's mind. Seeing things as black and white provides us with simplicity and quickness of decision but it also has a price that grows every step as we go on, because reality is in reality bouncing between two voids
• anything to do with M in Crave
• all of Crave
• A's speech - I'm currently doing it as part of my A level exam and I've had to research into it. It's a beautifully written piece of theatre - absolute magic!
• all of 4.48 Psychosis
• the slow changing of the role of Cate as victim to then finish with Cate as the survivor
• the scene in which Hippolytus (Phaedra's Love) realises that Phaedra really did love him - "This is her present to me". rom this point on Hippolytus is a changed man.  Phaedra's love/death is the ultimate gift: a self-sacrifice (perhaps akin to Kane's) which re-awakens the human in others
• now that I've found you I can stop looking for myself line (Crave)
• the end of 4:48 psychosis: a window open to a white... what?
• for my first production on school I have taken Blasted (scene 4 and 5) It is a very good play, but hard to produce.  Especially the mise en scene is difficult. I want something extreme but it can't be disgusting. In Sarah's words "HELP ME!!"

• when Rob says in Cleansed that he wants to die not his lover
• in Crave the really long sentence which is the most beautiful declaration of love
• the end scene between Tinker and the Woman in Cleansed
• I like the last scene in Blasted. Surprisingly I found it very uplifting. "Thank You!"
• "The Splash of her smile" (4:48 Psychosis)
• scene 8 of Phaedra's Love
• A's love speech (Crave)
• A's speech in Crave, the final images of Blasted, the sunflowers of Cleansed
• it's in Cleansed: There are two gays. One of them always promises to do everything for the other one, even die. The other one doesn't promise anything, but in the end dies for his love, while he has given into his weakness
• for me 4.48 Psychosis is better read as a poem without an actor's contrived emotion making the words sound false. Actors cannot portray the desperation and hopelessness this play promotes. Also it is beautifully written

• 4.48 Psychosis when the doctor gives out the reaction the character has to the medication
• Askim... askim neden beni yüz üstü biraktin?
• the final scene of Phaedra's love
• I think the most thrilling is a scream "for love" in 4.48 Psychosis. She's crying to public, that they can't decide "is it real? no, it's JUST a play". they can't help her.../a freaKa
• A's monologue in Crave- the most profound love declaration I have ever read
• the soldier crying whilst raping Ian in Blasted;  Humanity and Brutality
• the character of Tinker in Cleansed, and especially when he makes love to the peep show dancer. I love how Kane shows that torture brutalizes the torturer as well as the tortured, and that she gives Tinker the same capacity for redemption - for "cleansing" - through love that she gives everyone else in the play
• A´s love monologue, because I cried the first time I read it (Crave)
• life is too long (Phaedra's Love)
   
• love monologue in Crave, the part about god and suicide in Blasted
• Carl's silent scream in Cleansed following the genital switching. That scream is louder than any voice could carry out. It represents the culmination of so much pain on the part of not only Carl, but of everyone in the play
• the whole of Crave. Its musicality and rhythmical text. No troupe will ever do her pieces justice, no matter how well they stage them
• when Ian is masturbating himself in the end of Blasted
• A's monologue about love in Crave

• all of 4:48, the scene with the first line being...Body and soul can never be married
• Dr This and Dr That (4.48 Psychosis)
• I have read Blasted and I love it because it is so abstract. Love the whole play! Reading 4.48 Pychosis at the mo and what I from what I have read its great!
• the words from Cleansed: Love me or kill me
• all are great

• where Ian in Blasted becomes victim himself to the soldier, rather than him himself turning Cate into the victim
• 'Dr this and Dr that and dr whatsit who's just passing and thought he would pop in to take the piss as well.' 4.48 psychosis This scene is amazing, it is so full of truth and what she sees through her eyes
• the dream about doctor giving her 8 minutes to live after she'd been waiting for half an hour in the fucking waiting room (4.48 Psychosis)
• the love monologue in Crave
• the moment when the daffodil grows. I can feel it growing into my belly
• the "Died. Burnt. Lump of charred meat stripped of its flesh" monologue in Cleansed. Pure emotion
• a dream about doctor giving her 8 minutes of life after she had been waiting over half an hour in a waiting room (4.48 Psychosis). The Love Monologue in Crave
• I think her earlier work is much better, and I don't like her work after Phaedra's Love

• scene four, Phaedra's Love. the tension, and release, the unbearable truth that she can't make Hippolytus love her. The almost rape like quality of making her swallow
• she is talking about herself in the third person because the idea of being who she is, of acknowledging that she is herself is more than her pride can take

• A's speech at the beginning of Crave
• bit in Crave that goes "I crave white on white and black, but my thoughts race in glorious Technicolor prodding me awake, whipping away the warm blanket of invisibility every time it swears to smother my mind in nothing."
• the interaction between Tinker and the lap dancer in Cleansed
• in 4.48 Psychosis - I need my friends to be sane says the Psychiatrist - who does she think she is!! Ironic
• all the scenes between Cate and Ian (Blasted)
• 4.48 Psychosis - The scene where the Psychiatrist isn't listening to the woman - s/he is unable to see past the text book answer and listen to the real reason that makes the woman need/want/be able to cut herself. The Psychiatrist is as full of contradictions as the world today, but at the same time s/he isn't emotionless. It's a very human reaction
• Crave- when all of the voices are bouncing off each other saying each line meaningful. Also in 4.48 the bit where she  is saying doctor this and doctor that. also where she snaps SHAME SHAME SHAME DROWN IN YOUR OWN F#####G SHAME
• 4.48 psychosis- I have no desire for death. No suicide ever had. watch me vanish...watch me vanish...
• the telling of C's rape in Crave, and 4.48's doctors monologues
• Phaedra's Love when he realises he's raped his own daughter. Its raw emotion...its real

• Personally, I read the whole of 4.48 Psychosis as one whole long continuous and at the same time wonderfully disjointed scene. Every page reminded me of something to do with my own personal experiences with the Psychiatric services and the battle between the external social world and the internal world in my head when despair creeps in. The endless list of medication is great because it is so tragically funny precisely because it's so brutally honest and true. It wasn't until I read this play that I realized just how many different types of medication they had put me on over the years, when really all I wanted to do was be able to express myself freely. Copies of this play should be left in every Psychiatric hospital in the world, so that every isolated patient and doctor can look in from the outside and focus on something more than the four walls they find themselves in. Perhaps one day a group of in-patients (if they haven't done so all ready), might perform this piece! If anyone could portray the humour within Kane's work, they certainly could. I don't know what Sarah Kane would feel about this however...I would like to think it would make her feel good that more than just the average play-goer was getting to grips with her work
• Tinker and the lap dancer is so compassionate in Cleansed. The irony of the sour milk and the Spanish student waiting for his dinner and the tragicness of the small girl washed up on the beach and the small dark girl with her grandfather in Crave
• the death of Hippolytus in Phaedra's Love - brutal
• all of 4.48 Psychosis
• all of it but most of all the Dr This and Dr That scene
• surely the best line in any of her work is:  "the chicken's still dancing the chicken won't stop" (4.48 Psychosis).  suitably random suitably poignant suitably perfect strangely coherent
• the end scene of 4.48 Psychosis
• the short snippets of 'random' stories in Crave. (eg The girl with the milk bottles.) Kane gives us these images but does nothing with them. It's like a series of polaroids that awaken the reader/audience's imagination
• we did a production of 4:48 Psychosis and I had to try not to cry on stage when I was telling the other character that I was fond of them but couldn't be their friend because I  need my friends to be together and sane. It made me feel sick rejecting the character, very poignant, yet I loved it
• it is difficult to separate the inseparable into scenes and pick a favourite from such continual misery
   
• all of the play Blasted -especially the final scene
• the final scene in Phaedra's Love where Woman 2s main line is 'The bastard!' - she could be Vera Duckworth!!
• 4.48 Psychosis: to vindicate the ego/ to receive attention/  to be seen and heard  (...) / to be forgiven/ to be loved/ to be free/ Watch me vanish
• M- Do you ever hear voices?/ B- Only when they talk to me (Crave)
• I like most of Blasted. It is witty, yet moving at the same time
• the words in 4.48 Psychosis. They are so beautiful that each time I read the play, my most favorite changes. I like it when she catches the smell of the doctor and cannot stop the painful longing, wait at the station or bar or anywhere else. And the scene in which she says that she loves the doctor for saving her life. Her voice is quietly screaming, weeping without tears
• the "hate me now?" scene in Phaedra's Love (scene four). It feels so unbelievably violent, yet there is almost no physical contact between the characters (and that contact is incredibly tender). Like most of her writing, frighteningly moving
• monologue in 4.48 psychosis.  'It wasn't for long, I wasn't there long....'.  My favourite line out of the speech is  'A room of expressionless faces staring blankly at my pain, so devoid of meaning there must be evil intent.'
• everyone said A's monologue in Crave, but my person favourites in the play are the short tales entwined in the text (eg A small boy had an imaginary friend, I was catching a plane...) fabulous, and so fantastic to perform, the whole thing is just so fabulously rhythmic
• 4.48 Psychosis  'sometimes I turn around and catch the smell of you..'  Cos its so damn true!!!

• 4.48 Psychosis - every fucking mortal c*nt covers their arse and I have lived to know that this is true - if only someone had said to her - cover yours get out of this violent sphere of work and go and live in the real world again and retire because you are too nice to survive she would have lived. The world she lived in killed her - and where were her real mates telling her get out Sarah. She wrote some beautiful beautiful words and she died because of them
• I'm doing a production of Crave at college, where the mind of characters is brought to life. The opening scene is the most powerful as its the only pure part of the entire play: she jumps up from the bath breathless and scared.  I think this really adds to the happiness of the final scene.  It's fantastic
• the final line in Phaedra's Love is the funniest line in the history of the English theatre
• the dream in 4.48 Psychosis, when she says that she has 8 minutes life, but she spent half an hour in the fucking waiting-room
• I really like the last scene in Blasted when Ian is sitting there and the light gets on and off and in between he is doing strange and brutal things like crying bloody tears and so on.  And sure I love A's monologue in crave and I love the numbers in 4.48 Psychosis
• every single scene she's ever written
• "Sometimes, I turn around and catch the scent of you..." monologue, as well as the doctor monologue "Dr. This, Dr. That, and Dr. Whatsit" from 4.48 Psychosis
• the Chocolate scene in Cleansed
• Crave"he buys me a makeup kit....." etc
• A's monologue in Crave - its a beautiful declaration of true love
   
• the "I gassed the Jews..." Speech from 4:48 Psychosis. Powerful symbolism, says so much more than it does.  I love it so much that I use it as an audition piece
• Sunflowers in Cleanse. They are growing just like the evil in that terrible place
• I can't say that I have a favorite because every time I pick up one of her play's and re-read it I have a new  interpretation and it stirs all new emotions that I sometimes forget I could feel
• when Ian in Blasted eats the baby and crawls into the floorboards
• the story about the girl and the pints of milk in Crave
• death of Strophe and Hippolytus in Phaedra's Love, all of 4:48 Psychosis (unoriginal but true)
• I've only read Blasted and Phaedra's Love but the part I like is when the priest does oral sex hip. Although this  is not a nice act it demonstrates that people can hide behind their religion. It also reminds me about an incident that happen to me when I was at a catholic school. Not that same act but I  was laughed at for getting beaten up in front of the student who beat me up. This scene also reflects the opposite of the Greek tragedies where they put the gods up on a peddle stool but Kane brings the gods/church "DOWN TO EARTH" in matter of speaking. Heard a bit about 4.48 Psychosis- that sounds interesting I would like to read that play in the future especially as I suffer from depression
• the scene beginning 'Have you made any plans?' and ends 'I'm depressed. Depression is anger. It's what you did, who was there and who you're blaming....' It is real, honest & perfectly captures the contempt felt by the patient towards the clinical medics
• the counting scene in Cleansed
• Hippolytus and Strophe (Phaedra). It begins with her desperation and his cynicism and you see both their true selves emerge. She from being Miss Perfect-In-Control-Madam to a bereft daughter who is still in love with Hippolytus and he from Mr Hate-the-world, bored, bored, bored to a man with light of hope and a realisation of the sacrifice of love. When Strophe breaks down and his arms turn from rejection to an embrace - I always cry
   
• A's monologue in Crave, 4.48 Psychosis
• I was in a production of 448 recently and strangely enjoyed performing someone's emotions. I enjoyed the scene where the doctor isn't listening to the patient. There was great tension between myself and the man who played the doctor
• Rod and Carl's first scene in Cleansed
• Robin's death in Cleansed. The destruction of his innocence is truly heart-wrenching and represents what we all go through at some point in our life
• having just played A in Crave I would have to say that even though it's was one of the most terrifying characters I've had to play he has the most beautiful expression of love in his monologue I've ever read. That said I did gleefully enjoy his monologue that starts "don't say no to me you can't say no..." It completely undercuts the sentiments in the first and shows his love to be obsessive. I also love Rod's love speech in Cleansed and Grace's final monologue It's too hard to decide
• all of 4.48 Psychosis. it's soooo f*cking shocking
• A's monologue from Crave
• too many to name
• ALL of Blasted - an astonishing piece of work
• the medication scene in 4.48 Psychosis
   
• Blasted act 2
• definitely 4:48 Psychosis f**k you monologue. It's so brutally honest
• the baby-eating scene.... (Blasted)
• el final de fedra. cuando baja el buitre...
• Tinker and the woman in Cleansed- the actors (at Royal Court) were brilliant...she was so lost and yet had redemption in her hands. I loved her
• ASK. ME. WHY. F**K YOU F**K YOU F**K YOU flash flicker slash burn wring press dab slash.  Generally all of 4.48 actually
• parce que ça fait une putain de sensation (4.48 psychosis)
• Blasted, Scene three, when the soldier admits to raping a 12 yr old girl and torturing four young boys. I had to play this character in this scene in a student production and I got standing ovation
• end of Phaedra's Love. Hippolytus' smiling at the end then the vulture pecking at him. Also the other deaths are pretty gripping to!
• in Blasted, when Ian is buried up to his neck and he asked Cate to feed him
   
• f**k you monologue in 4.48 Psychosis
• a Dream about the doctor giving her eight minutes to live after she had been waiting in the f*cking waiting room for half an hour (4.48 Psychosis)
• at 4:48 when desperation visits I shall hang myself to the sound of my lover's breathing...
• the 'F*ck you' scene in 4.48 psychosis, is certainly powerful. It explores her emotions, and shows the chaos inside her head. 'I gassed the Jews ... I fucked small children', she hasn´t actually done these actions, but she sees herself as a god like figure, dying for others sins! This play explores the world of the ill, when you are safe in your theatre seats!!! Fantastic
• 4.48, not specified
• A´s mono... Crave
• generally 4.48 Pyschosis. I'm working on it as an extra drama task at school, another girl and me; we're working out way through, and using our own imagination. It's strange having to make up your own mind up as how to stage it, rather than just follow/work on the stage directions. I especially like the doctor/patient dialogues
• "you know I really feel like I'm being manipulated!" 4.48 Psychosis
• when Cate wakes up after she'd been raped (Blasted)
• sometimes I turn around... f**k you

• "Body and soul can never be married....." Out of curiosity, I was just wondering how different people read  into the number of 4.48? if u turn the first one on its side and connect in order, it looks like a heart monitor, if u then put lines down the middle of the dots. the next one for me is kind of like a countdown of weeks? I'm not sure, it goes down in 7's but I'd be really really interested in others ideas. I'm performing it now in Australia. Thanks
• the rape scene in Crave; from "C: I buy a new tape recorder and blank tapes" to "C: GOT ME"
• I like the ending of Blasted. I've already enjoyed explaining what I get out of it so much
• A's love speech (Crave) or the Dr This and Dr. That speech in 4.48 Psychosis
• the "A" speech in Crave
• 4.48 Psychosis - so amazing to be able to act one of her plays - love the waiting room scene and the Dr. This, Dr. That - really enjoying rehearsing it for performance in March 2004
• Blasted Page 50 where the soldier admits to Ian his true intentions
• "Please open the curtains" from 4.48. but in all honesty, the whole play is so powerful, poetic, lyrical and perfect!
• "...love by its nature..." and the A monologue (Crave)
• Phaedra's love scene 6 Hippolyt, Pretre

• a toss up between the final scene of Blasted "Can burry me next to her soon. Dance on my grave" or A's monologue from Crave "but hang on in for just ten more minutes before you throw me out of your life"---She is just absolutely ingenuous!!!
• A's monolog and "my will reads f*ck this up and I'll haunt you for the rest of your f*cking life" it's amazing "I believe in anniversaries, that a mood can be repeated even if the event that caused it is trivial or forgotten. in this case it's neither" I could go on for ever about the amazingness of Sarah Kane, she's a f*ckin legend
• A's love speech in Crave, its been said a million times on here but its just so beautiful and powerful
• A's speech ''don't say no to me, you can't say no to me......'' (Crave)
• without a doubt, the best scene is in Blasted, when the Soldier cries as he rapes Ian. That's powerful!
• I dislike my genitals etc.  Just a pure demonstration of discontent, in the human psyche. By the way 4:48 is called that as 4:48 am is the most common time for suicides
• the scene in Cleansed when the voices are hitting and raping grace, and Graham holds her head and helps her block the pain out. I think that scene explains love and everything that one person can do for another
• all of them
• having just performed Cleansed, playing the lap-dancer, I would have to say the part where she & Tinker make love.... of course it was all done through mime, but it was still excellent. "I love your c*ck Tinker. /  I love your c*ck inside me Tinker. / F*ck me Tinker. / Harder, harder, harder. / Come inside me. / I love you Tinker."  I love that goddamn line
• A's love speech followed by the final rejection by C (Crave)

• The "f*ck you" monologue from Psychosis. I´m currently in the middle of rehearsing it, and its amazing. That, and the rest of the entire play, are brilliant
• Blasted scene 2- for its powerful message
• happy and free, the ending of Crave
• the testicles thrown onto the barbecue (Phaedra's Love) - very nice
• ´At 4.48 when depression visits I shall hang myself to the sound of my lovers breathing.' My tutor pointed this out to me, how beautiful it is, yet how deeply saddening
• A's monologue in Crave and the apparent development of this that appears in 4.48- 'Sometimes I turn around...'
• Cleansed has the best stage direction ever!- 'Carl tries to pick up his hands, he can't, he has no hands'- Brilliant dark humour, v Kane
• in Cleansed when Grace has an electo-shock and changes her gender
• "And I am deadlocked by that smooth psychiatric voice of reason which tells me there is an objective reality in which my body and my mind are one...But I am not here and never have been." 4:48 Psychosis
• whole of 4.48 particularly the final scene. Truly inspired writing
   
• Strophe and Hippolytus fight scene (Phaedra)
• all of Blasted
• scene 3 Blasted soldier raping Ian
• a declaration of love for C in Crave
• the realisation of Hippolytus (Phaedra's Love)
• in Phaedra's Love, the concluding scene where Hippolytus states that "if only there were more moments like this" as he gets eaten by a vulture, his scene between Hippolytus and Phaedra after she performs fellatio on him, and the opening scene with Hippolytus blowing his nose and masturbating
• SHAME SHAME SHAME DROWN IN YOUR FUCKING SHAME in 4:48 Psychosis also I love the stylistic qualities of TAKE AN OVERDOES SLASH MY WRISTS HANG MYSELF scene
• when she says "I'd always loved you, even when I hated you", or something like that...
• the only doctor who ever touched me voluntarily, who looked me in the eye, who laughed at my gallows humour spoken in the voice of a newly dug grave, who took the piss when I shaved my head, who lied and said it was nice to see me, who lied, and said it was nice to see me (4:48 Psychosis aka inscrutable doctors)
• Hippolytus and Strophe talk about what has happened (scene six) in Phaedra's Love
   
• A's monologue in Crave. It is not only a beautiful exploration of love-the everyday, domesticated love-but it also comes as such a surprise that it takes your breath away. WOW. I want to love like this. Again
• A`s love speech. the best speech about love- it says everything and more (Crave)
• the end of 4.48 starting at the line "Black snow falls"
• the end of 4.48 Psychosis was disturbing because Kane killed herself in the same way shortly after writing the play. But i loved it
• in 4:48 the: "How do I stop? How do U stop? How do I stop? How do I stop? How do I stop?" scene and the "F*ck you" speech
• my favourite scene has to be the Doctor this Doctor that scene from 4:48 psychosis. Having studied this play at A level and used it as our end of year piece, i have to say that sarah kane is one of the most prolific and controversial writers i have come across. Her use of real emotion within her writing truly helps the audience to relate
• what do you want? to die. to sleep. no more (Crave)
• black snow falls (the end of 4:48)
• the dr. scene (4.48 Psychosis)

• the scene between Strophe and Hippolytus in Phaedra's Love
• Cuando Hippolytus eyacula en un calcetín viendo la tele, en Phaedra's love, porque me agobió mucho al leerlo la primera vez, pero luego entendí la vacuidad de la escena y del corazón que ella quería representar
• I am in love with the sheer beauty of Crave. The way it doesn't hide behind anything, yet shows nothing whatsoever. The use of colour is so magic. It is amazing. My favourite line is, 'the balance has gone. The balance, my baby, has gone'
• the beginning of Crave, with the phrase "to me you are dead"... or something like that. I also like the ending of Blasted
• 4.48 Psychosis- the one when she says "I killed the Jewish ..."
• from 4.48 - 'What am I like? The child of negation.....I wish you hadn't, I wish you hadn't, I wish you'd left me alone'
• love monologue, because I cried the first time I read it (Crave)
• life is too long (Phaedra's Love)
• love monologue in Crave, the part about god and suicide in Blasted
• Carl's silent scream in Cleansed following the genital switching. That scream is louder than any voice could carry out. It represents the culmination of so much pain on the part of not only Carl, but of everyone in the play
