ABOUT PLAY
Iva Milošević: I think both Mark Ravenhill and Sarah Kane believed that genuine emotion has come to be extremely exclusive and that the obscene does not ensue from the sphere of the sexual, but rather from the discomfort caused by baring others’ suffering or loneliness. This is what is obscene, this is what makes us feel uncomfortable, the two of them pose the question of what it is that we do at such moments, how we react. They both agree that what we try to mask that crack within ourselves with is most often violence, emotional, physical, and that’s the horrible thing. Sarah Kane is theatre’s response to what took place in visual arts during the nineties. The Saatchi exhibition of works of young British artists is famous, the one which Damien Hirst also took part in with installations of dead animal bodies in formaldehyde. Sarah Kane is, thus, theatre’s response to this attempt by the arts to put suffering and our reaction to it, our tolerance to suffering, under a microscope. Where the limits to our tolerance to suffering are, how much the limits moved and in what direction. At the same time, it all happens in a consumer society that nurtures a cult of youth, a cult of health, of happiness.

ABOUT AUTHOR
Sarah Kane (February 3, 1971 – February 20, 1999) was an English playwright.
Her plays deal with themes of redemptive love, sexual desire, pain, torture — both psychological and physical — and death. They are characterized by a poetic intensity, pared-down language, exploration of theatrical form and, in her earlier work, the use of extreme and violent stage action.
Kane's inspirations were in expressionist theatre and other non-naturalistic theatrical forms, including Jacobean tragedy. Her work is thus at variance with the naturalistic tendencies of much 20th century English theatre. Her published output consists of five plays and a screenplay for a short film, Skin.
