4.48 Psychosis

“I dreamt I went to the doctors and she gave me eight minutes to live. I’d been sitting in the fucking waiting room half an hour” Sarah Kane’s final, dark contribution to in-yer-face theatre follows a fragile woman as she goes through the mental health care service. A truly generous piece of writing from Kane, finished just a month before she took her own life, 4.48 Psychosis gives us an insight into a region of the mind that few of us ever visit but where some of us cannot escape.
