Blasted

With just five plays, Sarah Kane changed the face of British theatre. Blasted is where it all began.

The award-winning Graeae Theatre Company takes audiences through the dark landscapes of playwright Sarah Kane – from a gleaming hotel room, where two ex-lovers meet, through threats and spite to personal brutality and further, as violence seems to engulf the world and all becomes damaged. Be warned, Blasted is a shocking, divisive play. Its first performance was both heralded as a masterpiece and condemned by the Daily Mail as “a disgusting feast of filth.” But there is also lightness and hope in this fierce report from love’s bleakest battlegrounds. Directed by Jenny Sealey.

Blasted incorporates British Sign Language & Audio Description.
