Today I’m going
to write about the famous play writer Sarah Kane
I’m interested
in writing about her, because I found her to be a great contribution to
worldwide Theatre
For me Sara Kane is very important because I feel empathy with her, for
the way she shows the world in her plays.
the silence and the use of words, the way she wrote and the way she
transmitted pain and suffering with simple phrases, at the same time making a
constant critic of society, its’ hypocrisy and fakeness.
She is very
important because she is considered one of the most important authors in the
world, a key figure of the in-yer-face
Theatre, from England.
Her talent
was recognized very early. Many of her plays were shown in the Royal Court
Theatre.
Sara Kane
is now translated all
over the world.
Sara Kane
is born February 3, 1971, in England. In a traditional family.
Always
showed artistic talent. Directing, acting,
and writing at very young age.
Sara Kane
was an immediate success in England.
Some of her
works are:
Blasted
Phaedra’s
love
Skin
Cleansed
Crave
4:48 psychosis
Even
though she had great fame, she
suffered a strong depression since she was young, and with time it became even
worse. And passed some time of her life in clinics.
In February
20, 1999, she hanged herself, in the clinic she was being treated on.
Analyzing
her life I could discover a woman disappointed with life, fame, religious
ideologies, she had many needs and hardships.
With a
capacity to perceive internal dramas drawn by Human beings, mostly because she
lived them day to day.
Her last
play, Psychosis 4:48. is very important
because it is finished just before she died, in her she portrayed the hard
lifetime of a person that suffers from this mental illness, it is sort of her
suicide note. Telling somehow that time was done for her.
“The theater has no memory, which makes it the most
existential of the arts.
