'I would rather have lost my legs, pulled out my teeth, gouged out my eyes, than lost my love.'
4.48 Psychosis, the final and most experimental play from controversial writer Sarah Kane, examines with painful honesty the close relationship between depression and love. Kane's unique poetic style perfectly articulates the consequences of unrequited love in a tale of the darker side of human emotion peppered with even darker humour. Confessions to doctors and arguments with lovers slowly reveal a figure fuelled by fear, desperation and relentless hope in a rare naturalistic interpretation of the play. A complex, beautiful and unconventional love story, 4.48 Psychosis considers the possibility that it's worse to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
'You don't need a friend, you need a doctor.'
'You are so wrong.'
