How Plays Work: Blasted by Sarah Kane

In Blasted, 4.48 Psychosis and Cleansed, Sarah Kane uses extreme imagery within her stage plays. In analysing the deep meaning of her work, however, there is far more subtlety in both theme and her use of Derrida's concept of deconstruction.

In this video, I analyse Kane's debut play Blasted to see what it might teach us in how to write strong themes and cutting imagery into scripts.
