The question comes from a review of \u003cem\u003e4.48 Psychosis\u003c\/em\u003e' inaugural production, the year after Sarah Kane took her own life, but this book explores the ways in which it misses the point. Kane's final play is much more than a bizarre farewell to mortality. It's a work best understood by approaching it first and foremost as theatre - as a singular component in a theatrical assemblage of bodies, voices, light and energy. The play finds an unexpectedly close fit in the established traditions of modern drama and the practices of postdramatic theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenn D'Cruz explores this theatrical angle through a number of exemplary professional and student productions with a focus on the staging of the play by the Belarus Free Theatre (2005) and Melbourne's Red Stitch Theatre (2007). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn D'Cruz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138097470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138097476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.60h x 4.60w x 0.20d","brand":"Glenn D'Cruz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054896836863,"sku":"9781138097476","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93abc9cf-14f0-426a-975e-2025643d4e72.jpg?v=1685032614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sarah-kanes-448-psychosis-glenn-dcruz-9781138097476","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
