yeah, but i got my answer. Thanks
EQUUS definitely needs to be there. Yep. EQUUS.
But really....
Needs to include
At least one Greek drama- How about Antigone?
The Crucible
Death of a Salesman
You Can't Take It With You
Feel free to post your list. I'd actually love to see it.
Best plays I've seen:
Our Lady of the Flowers, Jean Genet/Lindsay Kemp
Medea, Euripides, with Irene Pappas
The Bourgoise Gentleman, Moliére
Midsummer's Night Dream, Shakespeare/Lindsay Kemp
The Game we All Play, Jodorowski
Beauty and the Beast, Broadway Musical
The Kind Man from Sechuan, Bertold Brecht
The Complete Works from William Shakespeare (abridged), all 37 plays in 120 minutes, very funny.
Les Miserables, Broadway musical, based on Victor Hugo
The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant, Fassbinder
Best plays I've read:
Macbeth
Oedipus Rex
La Vida es Sueño (Life is a Dream), Tirso de Molina
Romeo & Juliet

Galileo, by Bertolt Brecht

4. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
5. Long Day's Journey into Night
6. Look Homeward Angel
7. Brighton Beach Memoirs
8. You Can't Take It with You

Yes, But i didn't notice Ninja Turtle Concert on there? what is the deal?
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
gets my vote...
I don't know, but I definitely think Into the Woods should be there somewhere. I don't like any of the Shakespeare tradgedies very much, but As You Like It was great, and Measure for Measure is definitely in a class of its own. I haven't seen a lot of the classics, so I can't make a complete list.
Not in any particular order:
1. Cabaret
2. The Crucible
3. Hamlet
4. Othello
5. Antigone
6. Jekyll & Hyde
7. Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)
8. Never the Sinner
9. Macbeth
10. Rent
Not trying to change the thread, but it seems unwieldy to pick 10 plays as some of the postings indicate. Playwrights narrows the field, but even historical periods would help.
Here, in different format, are my "ten best plays"
Sophocles - Oedipus, Antigone
Aristophanes - Lysistrata, The Birds
Shakespeare - Hamlet, King Lear
Goethe - Dr. Faustus
Moliere - Tartuffe
Checkhov - The Cherry Orchard
Pirandello - Six characters in Search of an Author
Beckett - Waiting for Godot
Brecht - Three Penny Opera, Mother Courage
Harold Pinter - The Homecoming, The Birthday Party
Sam Sheperd - Buried Child, True West
On another day, the list would probably change
I didn't notice Ninja Turtle Concert on anyone's list but mine. Am I the only one that could see the brilliance in the play, or am I the only one who has seen it?
The latter is true in my case.
Actually, I did see the Ninja Turtles perform at a 6 Flags once!
And nobody mentioned RENT? Ahhh....what's wrong with this? Rent and Tick, Tick...Boom! should def. be on there. Two of the best shows ever!
have any one of you seen Urintown and what did you think about it?
I think it is awsome. I could not stop laughing.
I loved it. Urinetown is like no other musical I've ever seen - and very funny.
