Waiting For Godot may be a cliched pick but I've never seen existentialism more well-integrated in a play before. This was the ORIGINAL "show about nothing"!

No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre.

Hell is other people. How true is that?

"Theater is not only the meeting place of all the arts, but the return of art to life." -- Oscar Wilde

Truthfully, I haven't seen too many, but I've got to say 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane.

You promised me poems. ~Tricky

THE SKRIKER by Caryl Churchill.......come to think of it: ANYTHING by Caryl Churchill!!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

Probably a tossup between Beckett's "Footfalls" and "Happy Days".

What's not to love about a woman buried up to her neck in sand? :)

Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you. Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.
