Sarah Kane

Sarah Kane (February 3, 1971 –  February 20, 1999) was an English playwright.Her plays deal with themes of redemptive love, sexual desire, pain, torture — both psychological and physical — and death. They are characterised by a poetic intensity, pared-down language, exploration of theatrical form and, in her earlier work, the use of extreme and violent stage action. Kane's inspirations were in expressionist theatre and other non-naturalistic theatrical forms, including Jacobean tragedy . Her work is thus at variance with the naturalistic tendencies of much 20th century English theatre. Her entire published output consists of five plays and a screenplay for a short film, Skin.
