Waiting for Godot
Everything else is tied for first

Libation Bearers, Oedipus Rex, the Frogs, Girl from Samos, Amphytrion, Shakespeare's Complete Works, Faust, the Robbers, Doll House, some of Strindberg's, Inspector General, Boris Godunov, No Exit, I'm bored now.

Modern: Anything Mamet or Tennessee ( if you can handle the fag drama. His dialogue is flowery and lyrical)
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead

Classic: Hamlet

Shakespeare's major tragedies and comedies
Moliere -- The Misanthrope, Tartuffe
Goethe -- Faust I and II
Euripedes -- Iphigenia in Tauris
Aristophanes -- The Frogs, The Wasps
Aeschylus, The Oresteia trilogy

I hope you don't mean to read. After all, everyone knows plays are sets of instructions for live performance. Something like the Orgon-under-the-table scene in Tartuffe is never going to be especially entertaining to read, it gains its comic effect from unfolding in time.

The Merry Widow by Franz Lehar.
