Jeremy Skidmore directs a cast that includes Kathleen Coons, Deborah Hazelett, Joe Isenberg and John Lescault.

"Set in an unidentifiable city from which voices and images spring, Crave is a dramatized deconstruction of the human mind under the pressures of love, loss, and longing," according to Signature notes. "Four nameless characters tell their tales of disintegration and isolation."

British playwright Sarah Kane was hailed as a potential heir to such existential playwrights as Samuel Beckett and Edward Bond prior to her untimely death at the age of 28.

The ARK is a black-box space named in honor of lead donors Arlene and Robert Kogod.
