In my humble opinion Sarah Kane is nigh-incomprehensible. Sarah Ruhl, on the other hand, is quite good. (If you're gonna go with a Sarah, that is...)
Depends on how edgy you want to get. If you want to get so edgy that you have eight people in the audience and no one knows what's going on, by all means, go for Sarah Kane.
 
I also have a play that is edgy and completely inappropriate for schools called The World's Largest Rodent - here's the blurb:
 
"Billy's life was pushed to the brink of insanity when his father disappeared and his mother slipped into a catatonic state after a failed suicide attempt. His older sister, Meg, has enough on her hands with a job at Wal-Mart to pay off medical bills and a Latin lover who is determined to teach Billy how to be a man. Billy's only friends are a home schooled lesbian evangelist named Chastity whom he desperately lusts after and a large, magical talking capybara, the world's largest rodent. Together, they must find a way to revive Billy's mother and save Billy's world."

A Gulag Mouse, a drama in a women's gulag, seems to be getting some good reviews from the chicago production. Lots of stage combat, if you're into that. Free perusal sample:

Next Stage Press

OMG
I've seen two Sarah Kane plays.
I still have absolutely no idea what they were about.
IMO, they're simply incoherent ramblings.
Though I know SHE is dark and edgy (committed suicide, didn't she?), her plays are just insane.
