What Is Absurdist Theatre? Inside the Movement that Changed Modern Drama
by Sidney Paterra - Oct 18, 2025

This fall, Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot is once again drawing audiences to Broadway, with its enigmatic blend of humor, hopelessness, and haunting stillness. It’s a timely reminder of how profoundly absurdist theatre reshaped the modern stage—inviting audiences to laugh at the meaningless, search for significance in repetition, and confront the unsettling question at the heart of human existence: Why are we here at all?

Review: 4.48 PSYCHOSIS, Royal Court Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Jun 19, 2025

Sarah Kane is part of the mythology of British theatre. A brilliant mind, unbridled in her explorations of existence. Severely depressed, she hanged herself in the toilets of King’s College Hospital on the 20th of February, 1999. Tragically, it wasn’t a surprise. She wrote and talked about suicide very matter-of-factly. Kane authored, in total, five plays and a short film, all of equal, tragic precision in their emotional quality. It’s astonishing how much beauty came from someone who suffered so intensely.

Review: BURNT TOAST, Battersea Arts Centre
by Franco Milazzo - Apr 23, 2025

It’s difficult to say at which exact point during Susie Wang’s Burnt Toast I noticed that my jaw had dropped and stayed dropped. If Sarah Kane’s Blasted had been set in Fawlty Towers, it may have turned out something like this.

Review: CRAVE at Intiman Theater
by Amelia Divine - Feb 23, 2025

CRAVE, Sarah Kane’s stylistic one-act play, is an uncompromising plunge into the raw, chaotic landscape of human emotion. Now performing at Intiman Theater, this is a 55-minute concept piece that seems to revel in its own disarray. In true avant‐garde fashion, the play introduces us to four enigmatic characters–A (Lathrop Walker), B (Christopher Morson), C (Marya Sea Kaminski), and M (Alexandra Tavares)–whose disjointed, abstract musings recall the erratic pulse of late 90s beat poetry. Their relationships remain a mystery, their interactions sparse, each figure channeling a distinct, seething rage that resonates deeply with our current socio-political climate.
