Hey /lit/ I know we mostly discuss novels and works of non-fiction, philosophy and whatnot, but I have recently become interested in reading some plays (pretty faggy, I know)...

Can anyone help me out with any important works that I should pick up? I've got the complete works of Shakespeare and some other scripts by O'Neill,Chekov, Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams and a few Greek playwrights like Sophocles and Euripides.

Who else should I check out? And what plays of theirs, specifically, should I read first?
Thank you kindly in advance

Clive Barker, "The History of the Devil".

What's wrong with you Anon, why did you completely miss out opera!
>>
"True West" by Sam Shepard
>>
>>9211298
I'm not opposed to some good Opera as well.
That might be even easier because I could just listen to them on YouTube.

So feel free to suggest some good ones.
I've listened to a fair number of Mozart's works, but I'm open to more suggestions.

>>9211312
Don't use YouTube for anything because all the good stagings get copyright pulled and the rest are bad quality.

Find yourself a Ring des Nibelungen
>>
>>9211326
I have heard the Ring cycle as well, I took German in high school and college and we watched the whole thing during my Senior Year, but thanks for the suggestion, Wagner is my nigga (and apparently Hitler's nigga too, so thats always a glowing reference)
>>
>>9211348
Hitler just liked to see bombastic Teutons run around singing. A little Gay desu.

>>9211348
I've been immersing myself in the Ring for a whole past week, it's the best.

Well, Goethe, Ibsen, Pirandello, Ionesco and Beckett were quite important dramatists. Schiller too (started romanticism together with Goethe), but he seems to be forgotten these days.

Maybe you'd like some other Elizabethan dramatists, beside Shakespeare. Marlowe, Kyd... Then there's French classicism, Corneille, Moliere and Racine. (I loved his "Phedre", the titular character is certainly among my all-time favourites)

>(pretty faggy, I know)
Why would that be faggy? Reading dramas isn't faggy at all, maybe seeing them live is a little bit, but who fucking cares?

Why would seeing a play performed be faggy if reading it isn't?
>>
>>9212304
It's just a stereotype. Reading isn't seen as faggy but actual theater kind of is...

>Beckett

Watch Beckett on Film before reading any Beckett plays.
