One of Britain's most notorious plays of the 1990s, Sarah Kane's "Blasted" shocked the public and critics alike due to its graphic depiction of death and violence. Beneath this surface lies, however, a carefully thought out representation of trauma and its effects on the human soul. This paper explores the links between trauma theory and Kane's most famous work.
