Bernard-Marie Koltès

French playwright who died of AIDS at 41 leaving a small body of work of extraordinary intensity. In the Solitude of Cotton Fields and Roberto Zucco are among the most theatrically compelling plays of the late 20th century. His work explores race, desire, and the criminal on the margins of society.
