Description
When Blasted was first produced at the Royal Court in 1995, it was hailed jointly as a masterpiece and a "disgusting piece of filth" (Daily Mail). Subsequently, that play, and the others that followed, have been produced all over the world.
This anthology includes Kane's never-before-published Channel 4 screenplay, Skin.

The New York Times describes Kane as "a provocative playwright" who quickly became "an important voice in modern playwriting" with Blasted. The Guardian praises her writing as "a mature and vividly theatrical response to the pain of living." New York Magazine calls her work "shocking and revelatory," while Time Out highlights the emotional intensity and poetic richness of plays like 4.48 Psychosis and Crave. The Independent notes the "distilled intensity" of her writing that some find repellent but others see as the power of live theatre.
