Let's have a thread about plays, /lit/

What are some of your favorites?
How do your favorite plays stack up against your favorite novels (many seem to have trouble evaluating and comparing worth between the two)?
Do you have a favorite playwright?

First for Shakespeare.

Anybody who could post the first part?

thanks senpai

Arcadia is one of the best things I've ever read. As is Streetcar. I've read ASND 6-7 times now and it's always just as potent.

The first pick I read off of that list was Stone Cold Dead Serious, and I was absolutely blown away. I hadn't read much outside of Shakespeare at that point, and this hypnotic portrayal of a really fucked midwestern family left me wanting more.
So, Adam Rapp is still a personal favorite for that reason. I enjoyed his Hallway Trilogy, as well, though I have mixed feelings on his novel work (I didn't care for The Year of Endless Sorrows, but thought Know Your Beholder was quite enjoyable).

Have anyone here seen a good play recently?

I saw End of the Rainbow a few months ago, and really enjoyed it. Going in not knowing much about Judy Garland, it was really interesting to me to see that decline in her later years.
I thought Anthony's monologue towards the end was quite impactful, as well. Dumb bitch should have taken him up on the offer.
