This adaptation of Sarah Kane's play Blasted was performed in the Queens Hotel in Leeds in conjunction with the West Yorkshire Playhouse[1] The Guardian's theatre critic Lyn Gardner called the production an "inspired idea"[2] and it formed part of a national debate about subversion of theatrical space,[3] which culminated in artistic director Felix Mortimer responding in The Guardian.[4] The production ran in February 2008.

This site-specific promenade piece encompassed three locations. The action began in St George's Fields cemetery, and ended at DN:10 Railway Arches beneath Leeds railway station.
