Abstract
This essay shows how Shakespeare's King Lear and Sarah Kane's adaptation Blasted represent dying and death as both inevitable and insufferable. It is only in the context of performance, and the powerful emotional responses elicited from the audiences, that the play's particular representations of death and dying serve an index of a wider cultural problematic. This essay then moves to construct this spectacle as an ecopolitical concern.
