4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane

Synopsis

‘I dreamt that I went to the doctors, and she gave me eight minutes to live. I’d been sitting in the fucking waiting room for half an hour’ 

A quarter century from its debut, the entire original cast and creative team return to the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs to revisit Sarah Kane’s final masterpiece 25 years on.

4.48 Psychosis plunges the audience into the mind of an unnamed protagonist grappling with severe depression. Kane crafts an unflinching portrait of a psyche teetering on the edge of oblivion.  

In a co-production with the Royal Shakespeare Company, directed by award-winning James Macdonald (Waiting for Godot, West End) with Daniel Evans, Jo McInnes and Madeleine Potter reprising their roles. The production transfers to The Other Place, Stratford-upon-Avon following its Royal Court run. 

4.48 Psychosis is generously supported by a lead gift from Charles Holloway OBE.
