Obligatory Waiting For Godot by Samuel Beckett

And as for Greeks, don't forget Aeschylus and his Oresteia and Prometheus Bound. I've not read too many plays either, but to experience Goethe's masterwork of a play first read the play Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe and then Faust by Goethe. Another worth mentioning is Boris Godunov by Pushkin, even just for the Mussorgsky's incredible opera based on it with the same name

Beckett - Waiting for Godot and Endgame
Edward Albee The Zoo Story and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Harold Pinter The Caretaker; The Birthday Party; The Homecoming
David Mamet Glengarry Glenn Ross
Arthur Miller Death of a Salesman; All My Sons
Georg Buchner Woyzzeck
Bertolt Brecht Mother Courage and Her Children; The Caucassian Chalk Circle; Galileo
Anton Chekov The Cherry Orchard; The Seagull; Uncle Vanya

Add George Bernard Shaw to your list, his plays are brilliant, a similar vein to Oscar Wilde I suppose. Don't start with Chekov, even though The Seagull is one of the best plays ever written. Might be good to familiarise yourself with the Theatre of the Absurd, depends what your interest is.

>some other scripts by O'Neill
The Iceman Cometh is my favorite O'Neill play, closely followed by Long Day's Journey Into Night

One of the most fun experiences I've had in reading is going through Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco

also Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi is a classic for "what the fuck" lit

OP here

fucking FINALLY! Thank you kind anons for actually suggesting specific plays.

I may not have expressed exactly what I was looking for when I started this same thread yesterday. So I really appreciate all of you guys who actually helped me pick out some good recommendations.

But lets keep the thread going, I want as many recommendations as everyone out there has to give me. I'll never be happy until I've completely filled my hard drive with plays and books (you heard me right, I'm going to download pdfs, instead of buying physical books mwahahahahaha come at me all you /lit/ purists!!!!!)

The government inspector by Gogol is first-rate af

So I'd just like to let you know that I truly appreciated your reply more than all the other actual helpful replies. (I'm not even being sarcastic)
Keep up the good work!
