Ibsen, Miller, williams
Classic anything is something that stands the test of time, but also appeals across generation.
God bless you.
read the glass menagerie, death of a salesman, the iceman cometh

Try a Greek playwright such as Sophocles, Aeschylus, or Euripides.

I agree copletely with the answer above me. Read Williams and Miller!!
But if you are looking for Shakespeare era writhers, look at Geoffey Chaucer and the Greeks.
