Blasted
By Sarah Kane
Wednesday 1 – Saturday 4 October 2008
Cruelty and compassion strangely collide in Sarah Kane's profound and horrific first work.
It looks at a world literally blowing up in our faces. Kane is part of the ‘in-yer-face’ generation of young British playwrights whose experiential work has challenged and shocked the British stage.
Recommended for mature audiences only. Contains offensive material.

TICKETS: $15/$10
