1. Long Day's Journey Into Night

2. I like Shakespeare's comedies,

especially Much Ado About Nothing and The Taming of the Shrew.

3. Othello

...And when I love thee not,
Chaos is come again....

[Misunderestimator]

11. Ah .... Desdemona.... how tragic.

I agree... and one of the best operas as well.

4. "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" by Tom Stoppard

[charlyvi]

5. Good Choice, but...

If you don't know Hamlet, you'll be lost. Maybe "Hamlet/Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"?

7. If you don't know "Hamlet" you are lost

To me at least. ;)

10. Death of a Salesman. . .

Depressing, but I love it.

[Mr.Green93]

17. Why didn't Biff and Willy take jobs in the booming war

economy of 1942?

[Ivan Sputnik]

12. KIng Lear

One of Shakespeare's great tragedies, maybe THE greatest.

[charlyvi]

13. From my head, yes.

But from my heart--Othello.

[NewHampshireDem]

14. By far the best play ever written ...

It moves me to tears each time Lear is reunited with Cordelia ...

"Do not laugh at me;
For, as I am a man, I think this lady
To be my child Cordelia."

Then when he carries her dead body back on stage in Act 5 ... :cry: It is too much to bear.

[Parrcrow]

15. Gotta love Shakers

The four great tragedies
Hamlet
King Lear
Macbeth
Othello

almost a great tragedy
Coriolanus

Henry IV parts one and two, for Falstaff.

Richard III

[Mr.Green93]

16. Phil Jackson sideline plays

[charlyvi]

18. Streetcar Named Desire, I think....

The reason I say "I think" is that I have never been able to watch it all the way through---it's WAY to upsetting. So, the way I figure, it has to be a damn good play.
