Cleansed

Two lovers and two siblings.
 
How far are they prepared to go to prove their devotion? And will their love survive when subjected to the most extreme violence?
 
Sarah Kane remains one of the most original and controversial voices in British playwriting history. Rebecca Frecknall (A Streetcar Named Desire; Cabaret) directs an “exquisitely rendered” (The Telegraph) and “viscerally provocative” (The Stage) revival of Kane‘s masterpiece, which explores the brutality of desire and asks what happens to love when there’s nothing else worth living for?
 
This “potent, moving and fantastically physical production” (The Guardian) is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see two of British theatre’s most visionary female artists come together in “the most exciting theatrical event of the year” (Tatler).
