4.48 Psychosis

4.48 Psychosis
Author(s): Sarah Kane

4.48 Psychosis was written throughout the autumn and winter of 1998-99 as Kane battled with one of her recurrent bouts of depression. On February 20, 1999, aged 28, the playwright committed suicide. On the page, the piece looks like a poem. No characters are named, and even their number is unspecified. It could be a journey through one person's mind, or an interview between a doctor and his patient.

Review(s):
“As compact and beautiful as a diamond in structure--and yet the mood it inspires is as black as coal.” —Time Out
