If you like reading plays, what are some of your favourites?

They can either be classics or more modern. I've just started getting into them and have been enjoying them, but haven't read too many yet.
Thanks.

I just finished an amazingly beautiful play for my curriculum, "Eurydice" by Sarah Ruhl. If you have any interest in mythology, you might like it, though it also has a modern twist to it as well. My copy has some other plays of hers as well so I think I'll read these.

I love lots but I think Chekhov and Shaw best.

I like the contrasts you get with reading plays: in Shakespeare for eg you hardly have any scene setting and stage directions (exit pursued by a bear) and then Shaw for eg it's incredibly precise. Thinking what difference that makes for directors and readers.

Oscar Wilde is fun to read. Alan Bennett is good too, especially if you've seen the play. Another one I've returned to a few times is Terry Johnson's Dead Funny - saw it on the stage first but have immensely enjoyed reading and rereading the script.

Tom Stoppard from me as well - The Real Thing as well as Arcadia

Anything by Brian Friel. Translations, Faith Healer, Philadelphia here I come, Dancing at Lughnasa - all work well as texts.

Sean O'Casey - Juno and the Paycock, The Plough and the Stars.
