Hello /lit/,
I'm a student at University and I am taking a playwriting class. Every week we are supposed to read a play from the master list of playwrites (pic related), and write what is more or less a book report about the play.
This week, however, the professor has asked us to photocopy a specific two sequential pages of the text and explain line-by-line how each line adds something to the text as a whole.
Can /lit/ recommend me a play by one of these authors? Specifically one you think could fit the additional requirement of line-by-line analysis.
Thanks!

Beckett would be perfect for this exercise, as he packs so much into every line.
Not going to do your work for you but lots of Wilde's plays are very short and you could write this up pretty easily with almost any 2 pages. You could probably fill ten pages by discussing a single line if you really dig deep.

the title of M. Butterfly completely gives it away. Literally more obvious than Darth Vader. The "plot twist" will absolutely crush your willing suspension of disbelief.
Do Williams, Miller, Wilde, and whoever else
