Description
Circles is an epic poem inspired by Sarah Kane's 4.48 Psychosis. Taking the point of view of a suicide victim's lover in the play post-death, the piece takes place on London's tube network and follows the fragmented views of this once-absent character. It is a piece about love, loss and the line between sanity and insanity. Whilst fictional, the emotions and experiences are also inspired by elements of the author's life, and are written with the aim to bring comfort and healing to those who can relate to its themes.
