4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane

3.0

3 STARS

CW: suicidal ideation, cutting, swearing, drugs, mention of genocide & murder, mention of pedophilia & rape, suicide

Read this for one of my classes at university where we talk about the depiction of female "madness" in literature. I thought this play was very interesting, definitely hard to read at times due to the intense topics and themes. The formatting made it so much more interesting and I'm sure the discussion in class will be so as well. I am definitely curious how this is translated from page to stage, I did ruminate a little on how I would stage this play in a production as a director.
Generally, it's a little too chaotic for me to give it more than 3 stars though.
