Depression is a prominent theme in the arts. From works of fiction and verse to the bleakest images imaginable, creative types have long been struggling both to express anguish in their work and live with the pain inflicted by life itself.
University Theatre’s winter production, “4:48 Psychosis,” is the work of one such distressed mind. The title, depending on whom you ask, comes either from the time in the wee hours of the morning when the most suicides occur, or alternately from a tendency the late playwright Sarah Kane developed of waking out of depression at 4:48 a.m. in her later years. Psychosis deals with death, sanity and the reality in which we live, according to the play’s press release.
