David Edgar (b. February 26, 1948) is a British playwright particularly active since the late 1970s. His best-known play is Pentecost, which takes place in Eastern Europe during the early 1990s and concerns the discovery of a mural in a small church. In 2003 his two-play epic Continental Divide, which is about American politics, was commissioned by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon and the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in Berkeley, California and performed at both theatres with mixed reviews.
