good dark edgy fantasy: Home Free by Lanford Wilson
1 male/1 female/1 setting/approx 45 minutes

just saw it at the Kennedy Center competition - powerful piece!

How about Genet?  The Maids or Deathwatch are both great shows, very intense.

Christopher Durang has already been mentioned, but I directed his one act "Wanda's Visit" at a one act festival and it got a wonderful response.  It has some good edgy humor that might be what you are looking for, as well as a fun "twist" ending.

I have a play called Tuna Fish Eulogy (which went on to win 2nd overall with the Riverside Players at the National Drama Festival Association British All-Winners Festival) 

It's very different, and is in the form of a ladder play.

Here's the link.
