4.48 Psychosis

In her poetic masterpiece 4.48 Psychosis, Sarah Kane crafts an unflinching portrait of a psyche teetering on the edge of oblivion.

I dreamt that I went to the doctors, and she gave me eight minutes to live. I’d been sitting in the fucking waiting room for half an hour

4.48 Psychosis is the last play by Sarah Kane, the controversial contemporary British playwright, who died aged 28 in February 1999.

Throughout the piece the audience are plunged into the mind of an unnamed protagonist grappling with severe depression as Kane crafts an unflinching and poetic portrait of a psyche teetering on the edge of oblivion.

A quarter century from its debut, the entire original cast and creative team return to the Royal Court Jerwood Theatre Upstairs to revisit Sarah Kane’s final masterpiece 25 years on.

This edition was published to coincide with the Royal Court Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company co-production in June 2025, and the subsequent run at The Other Place, Stratford-upon-Avon.
