I am writing a Theatre Of Cruelty Script for my I.P.

Any Ideas?

Theatre of Cruelty is extremely misunderstood. It is about provoking the senses, resulting in a visceral reaction from the audience. Make sure you read Marat/Sade vy Peter Weiss. It's one of the archetypes for Theatre of Cruelty with plot.

Many ToC performances have no script, and are just an onslaught of sound and movement. This modern type of ToC is where we are at now, and many of the conventions of Artaud's ToC in plot driven scripts, unless used effectively, can make a script seemed dated, or forced into a theatrical style.
