Preview: Blasted

by Paul R Taylor
18/ 1/2007

THE graphic and powerful anti-war play Blasted comes to The Lowry next week.

The late Sarah Kane's first play was lambasted by the critics when it was first performed in 1995 as a "disgusting feast of filth" (Daily Mail) but is now considered a classic.

A tabloid journalist's sexual bullying of a young woman is turned on its head when a soldier bursts into their Leeds hotel room.

This is a rare chance to see the play, which draws parallels between war in the Balkans and domestic violence. It contains nudity, strong language and themes of an adult nature. Most suitable for those aged 16-plus.

Blasted is In The Studio at The Lowry, on Thursday, January 25, and Friday, January 26. Tickets £10, £7.50 advance, no concessions. Call the box office on 0870 1112000.
