This Student Edition of Sarah Kane's seminal play Blasted features expert and helpful annotation and is an accessible guide for anyone studying or performing the play.This includes a scene-by-scene summary, a detailed commentary on the dramatic, social and political context, and on the themes, characters, language and structure of the play, as well a list of suggested reading, questions for further study and a review of performance history. In 1995 Sarah Kane's first full-length play Blasted sent shockwaves throughout the theatrical world.Making front-page headlines, the play outraged critics with its depiction of rape, torture and violence in civil war.However, from being roundly condemned by the critics ('this disgusting feast of filth' Daily Mail), the play is now considered a seminal work of European theatre and has defined an entire era of stage writing. Blasted's canonical status reflects the raw beauty and terror of Kane's writing.Probing the brutality people inflict upon one another, the suffering and violation, the play also looks at the role of love and the redemption it offers.Unafraid to delve into darkness, this is a provocative, fragmenting piece full of significance and power.
