I’m looking to mix some plays into my reading rotation as I haven’t read plays since I was last in a classroom. I’m looking primarily for classics, ones which y’all think have aged well and are great on their own merit, not just because they’re commonly part of a curriculum. The plays I remember most are
– Death of a Salesman
– A Dolls House
– The Adding Machine
– All My Sons
– Julius Caesar
