new, younger playwrights

[Kate Bligh]

Hi Malcolm,

here are three suggestions:

Thelon Oeming
http://www.thirdcoastfestival.org/library/producers/110-thelon-oeming
(though he's written more radio plays than theatre pieces)

Omari Newton
http://www.blacktheatreworkshop.ca/performance-tickets/mainstage-sal-capone-the-lamentable-tragedy-of/

and perhaps

Evelyne de la Chenelière
http://www.theatreprojectsmanitoba.ca/wp/3968/past-projects/bashir-lazhar-by-evelyne-de-la-cheneliere/
(but maybe you are only considering anglophone writers?)

Best,

Kate Bligh
