What are the greatest plays of all time?

Pic unrelated

Hamlet
Everything else is tied for last.

Waiting for Godot
Everything else is tied for first

Libation Bearers, Oedipus Rex, the Frogs, Girl from Samos, Amphytrion, Shakespeare's Complete Works, Faust, the Robbers, Doll House, some of Strindberg's, Inspector General, Boris Godunov, No Exit, I'm bored now.

Modern: Anything Mamet or Tennessee ( if you can handle the fag drama. His dialogue is flowery and lyrical)
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead

Classic: Hamlet

Pretty good taste

I was in doubt between the Frogs and the Birds, did I make the right choice?

the government inspector

I have not read the birds yet, but i'll assume so

Shakespeare's major tragedies and comedies
Moliere -- The Misanthrope, Tartuffe
Goethe -- Faust I and II
Euripedes -- Iphigenia in Tauris
Aristophanes -- The Frogs, The Wasps
Aeschylus, The Oresteia trilogy
Sophocles -- The Theban plays
Chekhov -- all four major plays
Beckett -- Krapp's Last Tape, Endgame
Griboydev -- Woe from Wit

All of these are contemporary,

The Flick - Annie Baker
Mr Burns - Anne Washburn
Jerusalem - Jez Butterworth
Misterman - Enda Walsh
Anything by Tim Crouch but especially The Author

Tartuffe was a huge chore

Auto da Barca do Inferno.

Endgame

THE LION KING

>all these anons forgetting Ibsen
It's like some of you aren't fluent in Danish or something

I hope you don't mean to read. After all, everyone knows plays are sets of instructions for live performance. Something like the Orgon-under-the-table scene in Tartuffe is never going to be especially entertaining to read, it gains its comic effect from unfolding in time.

The Merry Widow by Franz Lehar.

>Shakespeare's major tragedies and comedies

Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, Lear, Antony and Cleopatra, Caesar, As You Like It, Much Ado, The Tempest, Midsummer, Twelfth Night, Merchant of Venice, Measure for Measure. (I should have included the Histories for the Henriad.)
