Sarah Kane's suicide in 1999 consolidated a process of singling-out that had begun four years earlier with the 'national outrage' initiated by the media's scandalised response to the premiere of "Blasted". The brutal content of the play resulted in much-quoted hostility from the critics. Academic attention to the play has begun a process of re-evaluation, debating the production and reception of the play and key issues including its status as a classic example of 'in-yer-face' drama. This guide provides a comprehensive critical introduction to Blasted, giving students an overview of the play's significance, a brief biography of Sarah Kane and a guide to socio-political background; a detailed analysis of the play's structure, style and characters; an analysis of key production issues and choices; an overview of key productions from the 1995 Royal Court premiere to today; and a chapter exploring possibilities and exercises for practical work on the play. An annotated guide to further reading highlights key secondary material including useful websites."--Publisher description. 410 0$aContinuum modern theatre guides. 517 3 $aBlasted 606 $aLiterary studies: from c 1900 -$2bicssc 615 7$aLiterary studies: from c 1900 - 676 $a822.914 686 $aHN 9990$2rvk 700 $aIball$b Helen$01702047 801 0$bN 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822518103321 996 $aSarah Kane's Blasted$94086293 997 $aUNINA
