Sarah Kane's first play, lambasted by critics when it was first performed in 1995 as a ‘disgusting feast of filth’ –The Daily Mail, is now considered by many, a classic of 20th century theatre. This is a rare chance to see this powerful anti-war play set in a hotel room in Leeds, while war rages outside in the streets.
