Kane's published work consists of five plays, the short film Skin, and two newspaper articles for The Guardian. Kane told Kenyon that her attempted suicide by overdose had been unsuccessful because she had eaten pizza. Nurses were unaware that Kane needed continuous supervision. A review panel that investigated Kane's death recommended that the communication between medical staff be improved by formalising the procedures that related to the risk assessment of patients. Kane admired Bond's work, and he in turn publicly defended Kane's play and talent. The play contains some of Kane's wittiest and most cynical dialogue. A change in critical opinion occurred with Kane's fourth play, Crave, which was directed by Vicky Featherstone and presented by Paines Plough at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh in 1998. Though Kane's work never played to large audiences in the UK and was at first dismissed by many newspaper critics, her plays have been widely performed in Europe, Australia and South America. Playwright Robert Askins, who received a 2015 Tony Award nomination for Best Play for Hand to God, has cited Kane as a major inspiration. In Ukraine, director Roza Sarkisyan chose to produce an excerpt of one of Kane's plays for the British Council in 2017, and cites Kane as an inspiration.
