Content note: Please be advised this production contains simulations of sexual intimacy, extreme sexual & physical violence, drug consumption and suicide themes.
In a world stripped bare of mercy and convention, Cleansed transports audiences to a place where love, pain, and redemption collide with staggering intensity. Set within the confines of an institution, the play delves deep into the human psyche, exploring themes of desire, sacrifice, and the unyielding search for connection amidst the chaos.
In-yer-face theatre is a style of drama that emerged in Britain during the 1990s, characterised by its confrontational and provocative nature. It aims to shock, unsettle, and disturb audiences through the use of explicit language, graphic violence, nudity, and taboo subject matter. In-yer-face theatre seeks to create an intense and visceral experience for the audience, forcing them to confront uncomfortable truths and challenging social norms and promoting dialogue and debate about social issues.
As characters grapple with the extremes of human emotion and the brutal realities of existence, Sarah Kane’s unflinching vision confronts audiences with a raw and uncompromising examination of the human condition.
