The Null Device

Sarah Kane: a theatrical Ian Curtis?

Her last work ``4:48 Psychosis'' -- was completed only a week before Kane took an overdose and then hanged herself in hospital with her own shoelaces.

She wrote at night in intense bursts, confessing: ``I hate it. I get no pleasure from writing. It kills me.''

``Being in love was like being in Auschwitz,'' she said of the play's theme.
