Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Gender Studies, , language: English, abstract: Sarah Kane's play "Blasted" shows a high amount of cruelty with the homosexual and heterosexual rape as well as the sucking out of Ian's eyes, who is one of the main protagonists. The heavy use of imagery and action in these plays combined with its focus on dialogue distinguishes Kane from other dramaturgists in the 1970s-90s. Using the depiction of violence on stage, Kane forced the audience to break through the veil of apathy created by the media's insensitive portrayal of cruelty in order to subvert gender norms and the heterosexual patriarchal authority through performance on stage.
