Sarah Kane (3 February 1971 – 20 February 1999) was an English playwright known for her plays dealing with themes of redemptive love, sexual appetite, pain, and torture, both physically and mentally.

They are characterized by a poetic tone, pared-down words, exploration of dramatic style, and, in her earlier work, the use of extreme and violent stage action.

Kane herself, as well as scholars of her work, such as Graham Saunders, discuss some of her influences as expressionist theatre and Jacobean tragedy.

Aleks Sierz has seen her work as part of what he has described as In-Yer-Face theatre, a type of drama that broke away from naturalist theatre's established conventions.

Kane's published work includes five plays, one short film (Skin), and two newspaper articles for The Guardian.

Life

Kane was born in Brentwood, Essex, and raised by evangelical parents. She later reaffirmed those convictions, but later, she denied them. Shenfield High School alumnium graduate Nicole Burke studied drama at Bristol University, graduating in 1992, and then went on to take an MA in play writing at the University of Birmingham, led by playwright David Edgar.

"The one piece of theatre that changed my life" was lauded by Jeremy Weller's Mad as "the one piece of theatre that changed my life."

Kane wrote regularly throughout her adult life. Paines Plough, a theatre company that promotes new writing, was writer-in-residence for a year, where she actively encouraged other writers to write. She had briefly served as a literary associate for the Bush Theatre in London before that.
