Sarah Kane's work is never completely realistic in its portrayal of setting, but as her career progressed - and her grip on her own emotional life weakened - she began to do away with traditional setting. Two of her earliest works - the play "Blasted" and the screenplay "Skin" - take place in real locales during the nineties. Still, both are distinctly disconnected from naturalism. "Blasted" injects the civil wars of the Balkans in to the northern town of Leeds. "Skin" takes place in modern south London, but it contains a bedroom that exists out of time.
