A middle-aged man, Ian, and young woman, Cate, enter a hotel room. As private and public violations collide, and personal violations open doors to progressively greater violent acts, the world fragments around them.
Kane’s best-known and most controversial play Blasted was written in 1995 and directly inspired by the war in Yugoslavia, a multicultural jerry-rigged nation that consumed itself in civil-war violence. It was Kane’s insight that disclosed that many of the same historical influences which led to this violence were just as present in the streets of our western cities today as they were in the streets of Srebrenica.

"Astounding drama...Ms. Kane’s chilling contention is that it’s not such a stretch for any of us." -The New York Times

"A one of a kind theatrical experience." -Theatermania

"[Kane's] surreal vision has taken on authentic reality for any nation that happens to be at war." -Variety
