"Takýto príbeh nechce nikto počuť"
"Nobody Wants to Listen to Such a Story"

Summary/Abstract: The author is in her study dealling with the issue of a reception of violence in the work of art of a cult author in-year-face Sarah Kane, especially in her play Blasted. The English stages have not for approximately thirty years (since performance of Bond´s Rescued) experienced such a turbulent response and not even a single play from the contemporary ones has become so widely discussed and polemic. Sarah Kane has introduced to English stages a new theatrical language, full of pressure, violence and sexuality performed directly in front of the eyes of the audience. She has significantly roughed, bared and cleared the language of characters, and the pshycho-realistic frame which she had created herself before, then subsequently broke. In doing, so she made any possible classification of her work or, expressing any standpoint towards it, very hard. The critics were le only with offence and shock.
