Sarah Kane:more details and links

Kane’s debut play Blasted caused a national scandal for its graphic violence, but she was eventually recognized as a major poetic voice. Her work moved from naturalistic violence to highly stylized, abstract explorations of the human soul. She struggled with severe clinical depression throughout her adult life. Despite her short career, her impact on European theatre was seismic; her final play, 4.48 Psychosis, written shortly before her death, is considered a haunting masterpiece of dramatic vulnerability and structural innovation.
