A copy of 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane.
remember the light and believe the light/ an instant of clarity before eternal night
drowning in a sea of logic/ this monstrous state of palsy
the chicken's still dancing/ the chicken won't stop
The quote is from the Herzog film Stroszek. It was the last film seen by Joy Division singer Ian Curtis before he committed suicide. As a tribute the words are scratched into the vinyl of the posthumously released LP (from Stephen on site discussion page). (4.48 Psychosis p243).
"One day some trainspotter may feel impelled to write a thesis on the number of lines in her plays that are actually borrowed from the works of Joy Division, the Pixies, Ben Harper, Radiohead, Polly Harvey, the Tindersticks, even Elvis Presley. Her theatrical gods were Beckett, Pinter, Bond, Potter, but she wrote directly from her own experience and from her heart."
