The award winning Graeae Theatre Company will be your guide through Kane's dark landscapes - from a gleaming hotel room, where two ex-lovers meet, through threats and spite to personal brutality and further, as violence seems to spread like a virus until our world seems engulfed and all is damaged.
Be warned, Blasted is a shocking, divisive play. Its first performance was both heralded as a masterpiece and condemned by the Daily Mail as ‘a disgusting feast of filth.’ In Kane’s harsh world, there is also lightness and hope in this fierce report from love’s bleakest battlegrounds.
Already recognised as one of the final classics of 20th century theatre, this iconic play is now given a new voice by Britain’s foremost disabled-led theatre company.
‘Brave, strong and uncompromising performances, touched with a terrible wounded aggression; the power of the experience is undeniable.’
