Best plays?

Question:Just read 'Death of a Salesman' thought it was great. Am quite well read with novels but would like to now read more plays (and maybe go see them) any suggestions? I've read 'The crucible' and 'Journey's end' and complete Shakespeare, am looking for something that isn't neccessarily on the curriculum...?

Modern Classics, maybe?? Where to start...?

The library should have a series of books called Best Plays of XXXX. It will have the top plays of that year in it.

If you liked Death of a Salesman, try All the Kings Men, The Glass Menagerie (good women's parts), The Subject Was Roses. For comedies, try Harvey, Arsenic and Old Lace and Enter Laughing. They're older plays, but they have all the elements of a "well-written play".

I just finished writing a play. Read it and tell me how you like it.

Oedipus Rex (has been deemed the perfect play), Antigone, A raisin in the sun, Cyrano de Bergerac, Rumors, The Odd Couple, You Can't Take it With You, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, The Madwoman of Chaillot
