Jo McInnes: A Text That Demands to Be Played With — Performing Kane’s 4.48 Psychosis

Abstract

Jo McInnes: What was difficult at first, when you get that text written like, not in book form, lots of sheets of white paper with words on, you’re so shocked that you’re actually doing it as a play. It’s very difficult to disassociate myself now from what we ended up with, and how easy and simple it seems in a way. To start with the main drive that we all had was to understand as much as we could. We cut it up into sections and we titled each section. The first two weeks we just work- shopped it, just played with it.
