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 physical and psychological — 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 herself, as well as scholars of her work, such as Graham Saunders, identify some of her inspirations as expressionist theatre and Jacobean tragedy. Critics, including Aleks Sierz, have seen her work as part of a movement that broke away from the naturalistic tendencies of much 20th century English theatre. Kane's published work consists of five plays, one short film, Skin, and two newspaper articles for The Guardian.
