Yes, Dutchy. That was my vision. I debated whether or not I should include playwrights (and/or lyricists and composers) and now realize that I should have. Where in Hades did you get these titles, though? The Samuel French catalogue? I've never heard of any of them!

Duck for Cover, Joan by Rona Altrows

Good grief, man. This is craziness. What do you have there? Some catalogue of eighth-rate plays that nobody ever heard of?

"The Doctor in Spite of Himself" I recognize. It's by Moliere, so this David Belke version you mention must be some sort of translation or adaptation.

"Death in the Family" by Sharon Pollock probably has nothing to do with the James Agee play "All the Way Home," which was based on his novel "A Death in the Family."

Here's my list of famous, good plays starting with "E."

Equus by Peter Shaffer
Entertaining Mr. Sloane by Joe Orton
The Entertainer by John Osborne
The Emperor Jones by Eugene O'Neill
Endgame by Samuel Beckett
Eccentricities of a Nightingale (aka Summer and Smoke in a slightly different version) by Tennessee Williams
The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds by Paul Zindel
The Elephant Man by Bernard Pomerance

FlyFoy don't fly of the handle you "scatterbrain"

Funny Girl by Isobel
Forbidden Phoenix by Marty Chan
Follies by Stephen Sondheim
Flowers for a lady by Lilian Denham
Fantasticks by Harvey Schmidt & Tom Jones
Faithless by Chris Craddock
Female of the species by Anne Downe
Fools Rush In by Kenneth Horne

Thank God! Some shows that are recognizable ("Funny Girl," "Follies" and "The Fantasticks." However, Isobel, whom you list as the author of "Funny Girl," had a last name. It was Lennart. She was the librettist. As a musical," music and lyrics played a bit of a role in the piece. The composer was Jule Styne, and the lyricist was Bob Merrill. And since "Follies" wasn't an opera, in addition to the composer/lyricist (Stephen Sondheim), there was a librettist (James Goldman).

Pardon my pedanticalness, but the co-author of "Hair" does not have a surname that rhymes with the name of a character in "Oklahoma." His name is "Rado."

Hi Dev, been 7 months since I last saw you, when are you going to persuade hubby to get you a pc at home?

As for you FlyFoy, I know you're rearing to tear a strip of me, but don't you dare criticize my list above!

Oklahoma
Othello
Oh!, Calcutta!
On the Twentieth Century
Oliver!

Peter Pan, which deserves to stand alone.

Music: Mark "Moose" Charlap and Jule Styne
Lyrics: Carolyn Leigh, Betty Comden and Adolph Green
Book: James M. Barrie (Yep...I don't think anyone but Barrie wrote the libretto. Too bad he didn't get to see the finished product. I wonder if he would have liked it. I think he would have thought some of the songs were clever, but I doubt that he would have agreed with Mary Martin's sunshiny, maternal interpretation of Peter (and the overall lightness of the show). Don't get me wrong...I adored Mary Martin. But Barrie's original concept of the character and the story were much darker than the musical would suggest.)

I was hoping I'd get P!

Now Miss Sunshine pick the eyes out of this lot.
