Details
An important adaptation of a radical and much-discussed 20th-century play by British playwright Sarah Kane, who took her own life in 1999 at the age of 28. Kane felt that 4.48 in the morning was a time of great clarity, when one's mind could realize its darkest thoughts. This new work is the first time any of Kane's work has been adapted and partnered with Venables's strong musical language and visceral sense of theatre, it is certain to generate intense interest.
