Mine is either Our Town by Thornton Wilder or A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams.

I love a number of them, among them TALLEY'S FOLLY, GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, THE KENTUCKY CYCLE, DOUBT, and AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY but to me ANGELS IN AMERICA stands alone.
Though if WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? was actually awarded the Prize it was supposed to have received but never did, I'd have it right up there.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Posted: 11/10/14 at 10:29pmReminds me of somebody else who always started threads asking people to choose their favorite but then listed like six things themselves, defeating the idea of the thread.

Posted: 11/10/14 at 10:43pmAnd how does responding to my own question render it pointless? It's a survey, not a definitive answer question. I am not looking for a Pulitzer play to read, I am curious about others' opinions.

Posted: 11/10/14 at 11:55pmSo so many good ones on the list... but if I have to choose just one, I'll have to go with Our Town.

What a bizarre post. Why does starting it with a couple "defeat" the idea of the thread -- which if for people to list their own favorites? If starting it with a few suggestions defeats it, then I guess the first answer from someone else listing a few would also defeat the idea of the post?
