Blasted

by Sarah Kane
directed by Sarah Benson

October 2 2008 - December 21 2008

A middle-aged man, Ian, and young woman, Cate, enter a hotel room. As private and public violation collide their world fragments around them. Acknowledged as the most provocative and influential British playwright of her generation, in her landmark play BLASTED, Sarah Kane forges a potent theatrical vision of destruction, collapse, and ultimately, redemption and love.
