I did a little chamber play of shakespeare at home with friends. Nothing serious, we didn't even learn it, we were just drinking,having fun and passing the text around, it was great and we'd like to do more.
I've never read any drama though. Could you recommend me some good/essential plays and playwrights? Prefferably some that are common enough to find in a larger local book store.
Another question, I have browsed the drama section in a small bookstore I visit and found Star Wars plays written in style of Shakespear, I've only read a little bit but it didn't seem half bad at a first glance. Is it just a meme or is it actually good?

You must be fucking fags

I'm honestly jelly. I don't have any friends that would do that with me for fun.

Ye we probably are, only fags are allowed to have fun after all.

It came about pretty naturally. I was reading some shakespeare I just bought in the kitchen while waiting for my pasta to cook (dorms so shared kitchen), a friend came in to cook and we talked about books, she wanted to read a bit so I gave her the book and she read it aloud with and overexaggerated posh voice and I just went with it and read the next part and we had fun and did like a couple pages worth of dialogue with shitty acting(neither of us took any acting classes or drama clubs) and funny/cringy voices. So we decided to invite some friends who we thought might be into it and do a fun home-play, we did midsummer nights dream since that has a pretty retarded plot by itself and it was nothing serious we were joking around, exaggerating everything,drinking etc. But we all enjoyed it and everyone was up for doing it again even if it was something more serious.

do something greek
A great work for actual dinner parties is Carol Churchill's "Top Girls"

There's a ton of greek stuff though, and multiple translations of it afaik. Again my knowledge of drama is very shallow, I just started getting into it.
