Does 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.

Look at Craig Wright, Sarah Kane, Jessica Goldberg, Adam Bock, Mark Ravenhill.

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