description 4.48 Psychosis Overview
4.48 Psychosis is the final play written by British dramatist Sarah Kane and was first staged after her death. It has no fixed cast of named characters and uses fragmented dialogue, monologues, lists, and recurring numerical patterns rather than a conventional linear plot.
