4.48 Psychosis

«'Is it possible, asks the text, for a person to be born in the wrong body, at the wrong time? Yes, is the answer. But sometimes, from that agony, a great soul can wrestle something as beautiful and true as this remarkable play.' Scotsman (4 November 2008) '4.48 Psychosis still feels immediate, intimate and raw - if anything, the onward march of our confessional culture has made it feel even more contemporary.' Aleks Sierz, Tribune, 7.8.09 'Sarah Kane's last play, written before she killed herself 10 years ago, has been described as a theatrical suicide note. That sells it short. It is so much more: a manifesto for living by one about to die.' Lyn Gardner, Guardian, 25.7.09 'an extraordinary exploration of the human condition, and of psychological disintegration in particular. It exposes the terrifying clarity of the acute depressive's unblinking certainty that their existence is intolerable and can never be otherwise; the play's title refers to Kane's early morning moments of such cruel lucidity.' Sam Marlowe, The Times, 28.7.09 'Kane's fractured poetry, lacerating in its anguish and devil-driven dark humour' Sam Marlowe, The Times, 28.7.09»

4.48 Psychosis was written throughout the autumn and winter of 1998-99 as Kane battled with one of her recurrent bouts of depression. On February 20, 1999, aged 28, the playwright committed suicide. On the page, the piece looks like a poem. No characters are named, and even their number is unspecified. It could be a journey through one person's mind, or an interview between a doctor and his patient.

Kundevurdering:
Ikke tro at dette er en bok kun for de som er interessert i psykiatri - her er det noe enhver kan kjenne seg igjen i om en er ærlig mot seg selv. Handlingen er på psykiatrisk sykehus og består stort sett av monologer fra hovedpersonen. Som alle stykker av Sarah er dette også kort, men kraftfullt. Litt etter litt blir vi kjent med en som ikke er så annerledes som en skulle tro. Mye svart humor, gode observasjoner og veldig mye fortvilelse og selvforakt.
Boka er ingen selvbiografi, men er nok mye inspirert av Kane's egne opplevelser. Hun slet med psykiske problemer og klarte til slutt å begå selvmord.
