Four voices emerge from a void, desperate to seek freedom in a world of familiar anxieties and addictions. There is no linear story, the characters aren't named (only by letters), and relationships disappear as quickly as they're created. CRAVE ends up being a stage poem which audiences have opened their minds and hearts to since the piece was written in 1998, one year before Kane's suicide. CRAVE ran at Access Theater from November 15th-18th, 2018 with an incredible turnout

There's an important reason why Sarah Kane is not the most universally beloved playwright of the latter half of the 20th century. The elements of her work which fuel her disgusted critics and disgruntled audiences are the exact elements of her work which make her one of the most revolutionary writers in the world of theatre.

Hypocrites, beware! Such is the matter of this profound and intriguing late comedy by Shakespeare. When Duke Vincentio of Vienna inexplicably hands over power to Lord Angelo, a man of self-professed puritanism, he lays a trap that ensnares the falsely virtuous and rewards the just and true. Like most Shakespearean comedies, the course to the truth is neither smooth nor easy, but it is filled with engaging characters and extraordinary events, and even concludes with multiple marriages-however unlikely that may sometimes seem.
