Description
Sarah Kane’s 1995 British shocker—a grotesque intermingling of private violations and global atrocities—finally arrives in New York, and it was worth the wait. Here is a vision of contemporary Western horror delivered with full force and total commitment, in a blazingly lucid production directed by Sarah Benson for Soho Rep. Benson’s fearless actors—led by Marin Ireland as a stuttering, epileptic young woman and Reed Birney as a gin-swilling, racist tabloid hack who may be a government hit man—give intensely raw yet technically adept performances. Gritty realism cedes to a more symbolic, absurdist realm, resulting in a harrowingly tragic vision.—DC
