Catching Up On Plays...

This summer I want to catch up on all the plays I never read.

I want to read plays with good male monologues, so I will have some options ready for next year.

I WILL be reading Dearly Departed, A Midsummer's Night Dream, and Private Lives.

Any plays, that are "required" reading, that have male monologues, in which I need to add to my list for this summer?

Thanks!

So far, I have read only:

A Doll's House
A Raisin In The Sun
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof
Death Of A Salesman
Desire Under The Elms
Hamlet
Julius Caesar
Macbeth
Moon For The Misbegotten
Picnic
Prelude To A Kiss
Oedipus Rex
Oleanna
Riders To The Sea
The Cherry Orchard
The Glass Menagerie
The Heidi Chronicles
The Man In A Case
The Zoo Story
To Kill A Mockingbird

Hmm. Wonder if the script is available for purchase.

Anything Shakespeare catches my attention. Not necessarily for the acting or play aspect of it, just the brilliance of the writing.

Recently appeared in Wilder's The Matchmaker. Several wonderful monologues in that show. Especially for Malachi. He has a wonderful speech to the audience about vice. God, it was fun to do.

I did think of these because they are currently being revived (with varying degrees of success), but you must read Streetcar Named Desire and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. Both have male monologues, particularly's George's (I believe Act II, the really famous one) in the latter. And you should watch the film versions, both of which are superb.
