 Blasted, first performed in 1995, is the first and most (in)famous play by Sarah Kane.It starts out fairly conventional, if dark: Ian, a nasty, bigoted middle-aged journalist, has taken a gentle and possibly simple-minded young woman named Cate back to his expensive hotel room in Leeds. The first scene is the two of them talking, Ian making advances upon Cate and proudly espousing all sorts of bigotry. After a particularly unpleasant bit of sexual violence, Cate retreats to the bathroom......and then a soldier bursts into the hotel room, followed soon thereafter by a mortar shell. That's when things get really dark.Influenced by the atrocities of the Bosnian Civil War, Blasted received scornful reviews, even by the standards of the famously caustic British press, when it was first performed: the most notorious headline declared it a "disgusting feast of filth." Kane was devastated by these reviews, although those who knew her denied that it contributed to her suicide four years later. However, championed by playwrights such as Edward Bond and Harold Pinter, Blasted is now considered an uncompromising classic.This work features the following tropes:
