The question comes from a review of \u003cem\u003e4.48 Psychosis\u003c\/em\u003e’ inaugural production, the year after Sarah Kane took her own life, but this book explores the ways in which it misses the point. Kane’s final play is much more than a bizarre farewell to mortality. It’s a work best understood by approaching it first and foremost as theatre – as a singular component in a theatrical assemblage of bodies, voices, light and energy. The play finds an unexpectedly close fit in the established traditions of modern drama and the practices of postdramatic theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenn D’Cruz explores this theatrical angle through a number of exemplary professional and student productions with a focus on the staging of the play by the Belarus Free Theatre (2005) and Melbourne’s Red Stitch Theatre (2007). \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54239227248984,"sku":"9781138371569","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138371569_d428deb4-b48b-405e-ab7a-fe71346b93da.jpg?v=1768567518","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/sarah-kanes-4-48-psychosis","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
