- Abstract
- Sarah Kane and Sarah Ruhl have both written bodies of work which are ripe for theoretical interpretation. When reading the works of these playwrights alongside one another, a clear pattern emerges. That pattern reflects the post-modernist, queer identity by showcasing a phenomenon long familiar to queer persons, and recently given the name of ‘queer temporality’ by preeminent queer theorist Jack Halberstam. Using Halberstam’s delineations surrounding queer temporality, I have sought to exhibit these moments in the works of Kane and Ruhl, and to begin a conversation about how and why these moments are being included in contemporary plays in this way.
