  3. I don't know where you live.  Here (RSA) we go to 'DALRO' Dramatic arts literary rights organization.  They supply us with catalogs. Type, length, how many characters (3m, 2w, 2c), type of stage. Writing style. Whatever you want to know, about all plays - ever written.  And going for the famous (?) is difficult.  So many people have seen these plays by very famous (?) directors with very famous (?) Actors and actresses.

    Musicals are death, heated twice up.  The actors can't sing and the singers know less then nothing about acting.

    Strength.

  4. "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Edward Albee

    "Rural Trilogy" Federico Garcia Lorca

    "Angels in America" Tony Kushner

    "True West" Sam Shepard

  5. Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett....it is the theatre of absurd aiming to define the meaninglessness of our existence and all of our activities in this universe of which we are out of key. Hope you'll enjoy.

  6. charles dickens
