Compare the representation of violence in Blasted, Shopping and Fucking. Consider both theatrical effect and thematic significance.
Shopping and Fucking and Blasted are both plays renowned for their use of violence and shocking nature that was being shown on stage. Both plays belong to a theatrical sensibility called 'in-yer-face' theatre, theatre where the writers make the audience react to the moral problems presented in their plays. The shocking theatricalisation of violence that previously has not been seen in the theatre meant the spectators would often be upset, distressed and offended by what they witnessed. This forced the audiences of the plays to look at theatre from a different point of view. In-yer-face theatre openly presents the spectators with problems with addiction, sex and violence enabling the audience to see it's more profound meaning. The confrontational forms of the plays showing phycological and emotional extremities shocked some of the audience and stimulated their moral responsibilities, for other audience members the violent nature of the plays made for unnecessary viewings in the theatre, critics reactions to the productions were not always the positive realisations that the playwrights aimed for, “...[Blasted] an awful play and an awful waste of taxpayers’ money” (De Vos and Saunders, 2010:13). Both plays exhibit problems that were prominent during the nineties and showed the spectators why society needed to change.

...that for him money is the only thing that can ease the impact from the harsh world onto us, and likewise us onto the world. PUT IN MORE ABOUT S&F Despite the outrage that both plays caused because of the violence and sexual nature that they forced the audience to endure they both set the barrier for future in-yer-face productions. The effect of Kane and Ravenhills work was noticed, some for the wrong reasons and some the right, many theatre critics proclaimed not to understand the context of the plays. For many the intention was clear and heard, the eye opening if ghastly portrayal's shown in the theatre most defiantly shocked audiences but its attempt to foster a historical movement was not to be. An audience not ready for the violence that was shown on stage at the time but perhaps if the need arises again in-yer-face theatre will have a more lasting effect.
