I taught a Comedy course last fall which ended with two of Sarah Ruhl's plays, and they were simply a fantastic way to explore contemporary comedy in the theatre. Love her work.
Actually, anyone who looks at your plays on the page will see the obvious influence of poetic style as the words lay themselves out across the lines ... AND, playwrights trust actors to know more than any stage direction can hint, so those directions SHOULD be spare and surrounded by white spaces.

I wanted to share my haiku since I'm taking this on my lunch break today!
"Sat in my office,
It feels pointless to be here.
Can I go home please?"
