Abstract
Sara Kane's (1971-1999) name is almost always associated with “In-Yer-Face Theatre because her plays belong to this new type of drama. The present paper attempts a Psychoanalytic Study of Sarah Kane's play Blasted aiming at discussing the new sensibility, 'in-yer-face theatre', presenting Sarah Kane as a typical example and then interpreting her play psychoanalytically by applying Sigmund Freud's theories of psycho-analysis. The paper falls into three main parts: The first section gives a brief theatrical background of the play; the second is devoted to Sarah Kane's Blasted. It provides a plot summary of the play and Section Three is a psychoanalysis of the play applying Freud's concepts and theories of psychoanalysis. The paper ends with a brief conclusion which sums up the results of the study.
