4.5/5: Crave by Sarah Kane review

Full review here: https://dazemag.ca/2020/01/24/crave-by-sarah-kane-review/

“It’s disjointed, unsettling, raw, … it’s Sarah Kane’s Crave, and it’s hard to look away. 

“As cliché as it is to say, you will never experience another performance like StoneMarrow Theatre’s interpretation of Crave. This play will make you question your own understanding of memory, depression, desire, love, failure—there aren’t enough nouns in the human language. This play is all dialogue and physical movement and watching it is like playing a game of emotional squash—with all the screaming, sweating, and bodily contortions you can imagine. “

“The actors—A (Alex Dawkins), B (Gabriel Richardson), C (Sarah Emslie) and M (Samantha Jeffery)—deliver every line with machine-gun velocity, and don’t give the audience time to breathe. How they don’t just collapse after 15 minutes is a marvel in itself. “
