Full Description
This book explores the visceral and transformative power of violence in four of Sarah Kane's most influential plays, offering a fresh phenomenological lens through which to understand her theatrical innovations. Drawing on the philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, it examines how Kane's works immerse audiences in the raw, embodied experiences of trauma, desire, and existential despair. Through detailed analysis of Blasted, Cleansed, Phaedra's Love, and 4.48 Psychosis, the book illuminates Kane's unique ability to confront societal taboos and provoke emotional and intellectual reflection.Targeted toward scholars, students, and practitioners of theatre and literary studies, this book bridges contemporary drama and existential philosophy, presenting a compelling case for Kane's enduring relevance in discussions of human suffering and resilience. With its global perspective on Kane's impact and accessible yet rigorous approach, this book serves as an essential resource for understanding one of the most provocative voices in modern theatre.
