摘　　要：Sarah Kane＇s Blasted （1995）, set in Leeds, a war-ravaged city in England, mirrors the ruins of contemporary cities, and presents depraved characters who leave indelible prints of ruin as they have sex with impunity, torture at ease, and murder at whim. Hanging on the skin of their own obsessive lust, depression, depravation, and cruelty, Kane＇s characters display spiteful conduct and protracted cravings. The play depicts a world of sex maniacs, of acute pain, and of cannibalism. Set in a ＂very expensive hotel room in Leeds （England）-the kind that is so expensive it could be anywhere in the world＂ （Kane 3）, the playwright presents a tabloid journalist, Ian, and a Soldier, who both have severe and violent sexual drives, a young lady who is an innocent victim of sexual violence, a child whose corpse is eaten, and citizens massacred with utmost brutality.
