Description
19;29 invites you to a night at The Mosser Hotel with tabloid hack Ian and epileptic Cate for a radical reassessment of Sarah Kane's seminal 1995 work Blasted.

Highly controversial in its time, Blasted has become a modern classic for its unflinching depiction of the depths of humanity and the personal impact of war.

In the cloying intimacy of a hotel suite, 19;29's transatlantic cast seek to sear Kane's dystopic vision onto the audience's consciousness.

The physical immediacy of the action has a stomach churning intensity, which cannot fail to provoke thought and debate as civilization and barbarity collide before your very eyes.

Kane's social critique explores private and public despotism through domestic human conflict and the psychology of war. Blasted remains relevant and visceral thirteen years after its debut at the Royal Court, London.

The US production is held in association with Exit Theatre.
