Posted: 11/8/07 at 5:10pmDoes anyone have a list of some of the more new, edgy, contemporary playwrights?? I'm thinking along the lines of Lori-Parks, Guirgis, Iizuka, Rapp?? I'm looking for some contemporary plays with edgier dialogue/monologues, thanks for the help!

Tracey Letts who is represented on Broadway right now in a rather edgy play, but his earlier work is even more so, Bug and Killer Joe.
Sarah Kane, who is British and Dead, is VERY edgy but still important. The problem with edgy is often it isn't anything else.

Posted: 11/9/07 at 1:47pmLook at Craig Wright, Sarah Kane, Jessica Goldberg, Adam Bock, Mark Ravenhill.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

As far as edgy monologues go...I instantly thought of Bogosian.
