A review by tiredandspice
Cleansed by Sarah Kane

2.0

I've seen lots of reviews of Sarah Kane's work that write her off as someone simply seeking shocks and publicity and setting out to be as gross/gory as possible. For her other plays, I vehemently disagree. But this one just felt like a good concept that got overshadowed by the gore it needed to work. The ideas and themes are present- and fascinating- but her mechanisms for showing them only damaged their strength, rather than demonstrate them

Felt very meh overall, you could totally skip this one from the Kane canon.
