4:48 Psychosis

   This is the play I am currently rehearsing for.  I am working with two second year directors and three other actresses to bring to life Sarah Kane's (left) challenging play about suicide.  The work is not linier in the traditional sense of the word, and is more like a collection of poetry or snapshot's into a person's mind.  It is called 4:48 Psychosis as that is apparently the time in the morning when clarity visits, and 4:49am is when she (whoever 'she' may be) commits suicide.  It is more than a little disturbing and not what you would call traditional theatre, but more akin to the In-Yer-Face movement seen in the 1990's.  The language is at times graphic as is understandably the subject matter.  I hope the performance will be both provocative and moving for the audience, I know I have found it such reading and enacting it.
