This volume contains the complete collection of Sarah Kane's plays, including "Blasted"; "Phaedra's Love"; "Cleansed"; "Crave"; "4.48 Psychosis"; and "Skin".

4.48 Psychosis sees the ultimate narrowing of Sarah Kane's focus in her work. The struggle of the self to remain intact has moved in her work from civil war, into the family, into the couple, into the individual, and finally into the theatre of phychosis: the mind itself. This play was written in 1999 shortly before the playwright took her own life at age 28. On the page, the piece looks like a poem. No characters are named, and even their number is unspecified. It could be a journey through one person's mind, or an interview between a doctor and his patient.

Exploring the fragility of the human psyche, the narrative delves into themes of love, loss, and desire within an unnamed city where voices and images emerge. As the protagonist grapples with these intense emotions, the story captures the gradual unraveling of their mind, offering a poignant reflection on the complexities of emotional experiences.

This stunning play from the controversial author of Blasted premièred at the Royal Court Theatre, London in spring 1998A provocative play from the notorious author of Blasted, which probes the nightmarish world of twenty-somethings coming to grips with sexuality, social ostracism and the effects of drugs. Kane's first play Blasted caused major controversy, furore and acclaim amongst critics and throughout the theatre world

First single volume edition of this bold version of a classic by Sarah KaneSarah Kane's radical reworking of Seneca's classical tragedy of incest and unrequited lust. Phaedra's Love is a bold and provocative revisioning of the story of Phaedra's obsessive and destructive love of her son Hippolytus and his violent punishment by Theseus.

Blasted is Sarah Kane's first full-length play which opened in 1995 at the Royal Court Theatre in London. and was the sensation of that year's theatre season, making front-page headlines and outraging some critics who thought her premise that there was a connection between a rape in a Leeds hotel room and the hellish devastation of civil war was simply an attempt to shock audiences. The questions raised in this play about violence are at the heart of Kane's writing.

Erstmals erscheint auf Deutsch Sarah Kanes viel beschriebenes Gesamtwerk in einem Band, der neben Zerbombt (1995), Phaidras Liebe (1996), Gesäubert (1998) und Gier (1998) auch das bisher unveröffentlichte, posthum uraufgeführte Stück 4.48 Psychosis enthält und um ein biographisches Nachwort ergänzt wird. Deutlich wird zugleich Kanes Spannbreite - von den spektakulären, apokalyptischen Horrorszenarien ihrer drei ersten Stücke hin zur „wunderbaren, befremdlichen Sprachkomposition aus Zustandsbeschreibung, Lebensregeln, Story-Fetzen, Liebesverlangen, Liebesekel und Todessehnsucht“ (Der Spiegel) ihrer beiden letzten Werke. Mit der Wucht griechischer Tragödien, großer Schönheit und Radikalität kriesen ihre Stücke um Liebe und Gewalt, Einsamkeit und die Sehnsucht nach Nähe und Geborgenheit.
