(Theatre, defunkt theatre, 2010) Sarah Kane's 4.48 Psychosis immerses the audience in the chaotic thoughts of a protagonist struggling with profound depression. Through fragmented, often jarring monologues and intense conversations, Kane offers a stark portrayal of a mind struggling with existence. The title, 4:48 AM, symbolizes a brief, painful moment of sharp clarity in the midst of overwhelming mental turmoil.
Kane breaks from traditional theater forms, blending poetic fragments with brutal admissions and moments of bleak humor.
