Most discussion on /lit/ is about novel and philosophy. Let's add some variety. What are your favourite plays? Favourite playwrights?
Hard mode: no Shakespeare

As an American I guess I'll go ahead and say Tennessee Williams. He stirs passions if nothing else.

I've enjoyed Marlowe, but only a little. Really only Doctor Faustus.

Am actually not a big fan of Beckett. I dislike him on philosophic grounds. "Waiting for Godot" merely annoys me.

Strindberg when he's not being wallowing in self-pitying sentimentality or too much over-the-top insanity, though I think his insane plays (To Damascus in particular) might be some of the best ever written when performed, it isn't all that great when read.

Miss Julie is one of his all time greats and ought to be mandatory reading. The fact that Bloom thinks Ibsen belongs in the Western Canon but Strindberg does not makes me think that Bloom is a gargantuan faggot.

Edward Albee and August Wilson.

Calderon de la Barca

Moliere's The Misanthrope should be mandatory reading/viewing in order to shitpost on 4chan.

I love Beckett.

Sarah Kane is also very good. You can find almost all her plays on libgen. They are rather short too. It's a shame there are no good film versions of them (except for Skin, but that is a film script anyway).
