Bumping, because I was suddenly reminded to ask Mr Horse how this went. And I saw a rendition of 4.48 relatively recently, and it was great. And I re-read the complete works t'other day, and was once again flabbergasted at how bleak she can be without being an overly-indulgent goth.

4:48 psychosis is a brilliant play

one of my mates directed a version in the adelaide festival or arts about 6 years ago. the whole play was done indoors but with rain falling on the playing space for the entire show. it was quite amazing.

Ive never seen her work performed, which seems to be the whole point of it in my eyes. Ive got the book of her complete works and it doesnt make sense to be down there on the page, though i get alot out of certain passages.

I think she's as good on the page as performed. Performances are always interesting because there's a fair amount of ambiguity, meaning there's a lot of space for interpretation. I've seen really barren, agonising versions of 4.48 and I've seen it played for laughs, and I saw a (phenomenal) version which was very dance-y. I think I saw an RSC version of ... Crave? I haven't the text to hand to remind myself. That was really good, properly played like it was Aeschylus or something. I should write something at length about her at some point. Though I always have the problem that I don't really follow modern plays (and by 'modern' I mean 'post-Shakespeare').
