Waiting for Blasted

I am waiting impatiently, I am almost counting down hours until tomorrow evening when after five years of waiting I will have the chance to see Sarah Kane's Blasted in performance. The German production of the play (Zerbombt) is directed by Thomas Ostermeier,artistic director of Berlin's Schaubuhne and is on at the Barbican until Saturday.
Blasted, the first play by Kane written after more than 20 drafts, was initially performed at Royal Court theatre in 1995 (the photo is from that performance) and saw the outrageous response of British critics, due to its violence and, I would add, the hypocritcal morality that critics know so well to protect and advocate. Unfortunately, even now, very few people are referring to Blasted or even the rest of Kane's plays without mentioning how notorious a writer she became after her debut. Eleven years later, it's time for a serious re-appraisal of her work-beyond the scandal and her suicide.

When the sound is gone and everything has fallen apart, a feeling of reconciliation grows while the rain starts falling and goes on until lights fade out.
But can you hear a voice whispering 'thank you' while the sound of the rain becomes more and more loud?

I wish it rains tomorrow and I walk in the rain..again, like almost six years ago.
