	Sarah Kane Biography
		Sarah Kane (February 3 1971 - February 20 1999) was a British playwright.
		Whilst the Daily Mail described her first play as "this disgusting feast of filth" she is now acknowledged as a major force in British theatre and one of the key-figures of the so-called In-yer-face theatre whose promising career was brought to a premature end by her suicide in 1999.
		Via this "new" image of Sarah Kane her earlier texts have been reread beyond the surface revealing complex characters whose bruises are on a psychological level much more so than on a physical one.

	Sarah Kane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kane struggled with severe depression for many years and was twice voluntarily admitted to the Maudsley Hospital in London.
		Kane's career was brought to a premature end in 1999, when she committed suicide by hanging herself in a bathroom at London's King's College Hospital.
		Kane is now acknowledged as a major figure in British theatre and her work has been proved highly influential and widely performed in Europe.

	IN-YER-FACE THEATRE
		Kane explained their reaction by pointing out that 'a play by a middle-aged male journalist who rapes a young woman and is raped and mutilated himself can't have endeared me to a theatre full of middle-aged male critics'.
		Sarah Kane, the radically innovative playwright who committed suicide at the age of 28 in 1999, leaving behind a small but powerful body of work, saw nihilism as an extreme form of romanticism, and the tension between self-destruction and self-affirmation seems to pervade all of her work.
		Kane's life and work, as fellow writer David Greig says in his lucid and perceptive Introduction, was dominated by 'the way her career began, in the extraordinary public controversy over Blasted, and the way it ended: in her suicide and the posthumous production of her last play, 4.48 Psychosis'.

	The New York Times > Theater > News & Features > Sarah Kane's Second Life
		BOUT 18 months ago, Simon Kane, the executor of the estate of his sister, the playwright Sarah Kane, was in Berlin for the opening of her last play, "4.48 Psychosis," when he was approached by an official from the German Ministry of Culture with a simple question.
		Kane's life came to a sudden, violent halt in February 1999, when she hanged herself in a London hospital where she was being treated after swallowing a handful of sleeping pills.
		Kane is one of the most watched playwrights around, a proposition that is either made more or less likely, depending on how you look at it, by the coincidence of her youthful promise and premature death.

	Sarah Kane's howl of pain is an act of artistic heroism \| Theatre \| Arts \| Telegraph
		It was written throughout the autumn and winter of 1998-99 as Kane battled with one of her recurrent bouts of depression.
		As her friend and colleague David Greig writes in the introduction to her collected plays, 4.48 Psychosis is "perhaps uniquely painful in that it appears to have been written in the almost certain knowledge that it would be performed posthumously".
		That Kane should have written it in the midst of the depression that she so unsparingly chronicles strikes me as an act of artistic heroism.

	Sarah Kane
		I was brought in to direct the 'workshop' of her play 'Blasted', which was at the time only part-written, as the final element in her MA in Playwriting at Birmingham University in 1993.
		Sarah was serious about it, without being solemn, and the contact with her in rehearsals was certainly enjoyable - as well as challenging.
		I had intended to go - Sarah had invited me, but by the time I got round to ringing the theatre, the shit had hit the fan, and everywhere else for that matter, and tickets were unobtainable.

	M/C Reviews: Sarah Kane's Blasted
		Hyped as one of the most controversial plays to be seen in Brisbane, Sarah Kane’s Blasted has already been the subject of two complaints to the police minister.
		Again, Kane doesn’t yet have control of the psychological elements of her writing to terrify us - at this stage they seem to be writing her.
		Kane’s script offers the cast alluringly flawed characters but they all bring something more nuanced to them instead of taking the easy road.

		Sarah Kane hanged herself while in hospital being treated for depression.
		sarah kane was a flawed, mixed-up, broken, part reassembled playwright that, with blasted produced one of the most incredible 100mph handbrake turns in modern drama.
		One thing about any drama that is rooted in a highly literary text (beckett, shakespeare et al - and i include sarah kane in here because of the linguistic intricacy, and the obvious difficulty in staging) is that it takes a miracle to stage it so that the text really comes through.

	Playwright Mark Ravenhill says it's time to look again at Sarah Kane \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Kane's premature death has allowed the assessment of her place in the canon to happen quickly.
		Kane's first involvement with the theatre in London was at a pub theatre, the Bush, where she read scripts and worked alongside the literary manager.
		She was a fascinating mix of the fragile and the fighter, still rather alarmed by the frenzy that Blasted had unleashed but excited by the possibilities that it had opened up for her.

	Finally, a U.S. premiere for late troubled playwright
		Kane's own suicide -- very much like her tumultuous 1995 premiere in which she was vilified as an enfant terrible -- rocked Europe, where she was an icon.
		Though she wrote only five plays, Kane is regarded as one of the most celebrated dramatists of the late 20th century; her works are uncompromising examinations of violence, rape, war and other descents into human darkness.
		Kane, 35, executor of his sister's estate, was so worried the work might be misinterpreted that until now, he has turned down requests from American theater companies to produce the play.

	Sarah Kane Was Not
		Kane works on 4.48 Psychosis over 1998, and perhaps into the next year; in February, 1999, she hangs herself with shoelaces, a suicide.
		But let it not be forgotten that though a theatrical gesture is violent, it is disinterested; and that the theater teaches precisely the uselessness of the action which, once done, is not to be done, and the superior use of the state unused by the action and which, restored, produces a purification.
		Kane continues a dramatic struggle against fluent identification, against easy translation from the body of the spectator to the body of the actor.

	Brilliant Sarah Kane Work Stalls in Static Production \| Dusty Wright's Culture Catch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The French production of Kane’s final play, 4.48 Psychose, at the BAM Next Wave Festival in Brooklyn (Oct. 19-30), focuses on the isolation of the protagonist, her fierce commitment to knowing what it feels like to be deeply depressed, and her refusal—for the most part—to submit herself to treatment.
		Of course, I suspect that Kane would say we are all sick, just some more than others, and the clearly psychotic person is only further out than any of us who bother to think or feel.
		Kane herself died in Kings College Hospital, where she had been rushed for an overdose.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Sarah Kane
		Sarah Kane – whose five plays and one screenplay make up a small but powerful body of work – was one of the most talented and controversial young British writers to emerge in the 1990s.
		Kane then moved to London and became literary associate at the Bush fringe theatre in early 1994, leaving about six months later.
		Public perception of Kane has been coloured by the negative reaction to her first play, Blasted (1995), which caused the biggest theatrical scandal since Howard Brenton’s The Romans in Britain in 1980, and by her death by suicide at the age of 28.

		The symposium on the late playwright Sarah Kane at the Barbican last weekend turned out to be the wrong place to look for serious reflection about her work.
		But despite the creeping correlation of Kane's suffering with her talent (pace Plath), the state of debate is rather more healthy in Britain than it is in Germany.
		Kane often pushes the audience, as well as her characters, to the very brink of what we can bear and leaves us teetering there.

		It was in January 1995 that Sarah Kane was catapulted from being a complete unknown to nationwide notoriety.
		Kane's short life was in some respects as troubled as her professional career.
		As someone who knew the Bible well, Kane might well have thought on numerous occasions of the quotation "A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country", for her work, vilified for so long in the UK, had more productions in Europe (especially Germany) and in Australia that ever "in her own country".

	'Crave' by Sarah Kane
		Sarah Kane's plays have always been more popular with student dramatic companies than critics, though Crave, her penultimate play, is generally considered her most mature.
		This production demonstrates some scope for depth and colour in staging Kane's work, but ultimately reveals that there is little left when the frenetic energy, deliberate disorientation and tricksy narrative devices are stripped away.
		While this is the form on which Kane relies to emphasise futility, it certainly lends the play no weight.
