Two Neil Simons:
Proposals (saw the tryout in DC)
The Dinner Party
I really enjoyed both. Proposals had one of the best scenic and lighting designs I've ever seen.

Nobody Lives Over a Pretzel Factory (9 perf) launched Martin Sheen. Robert Preston was in Nobody Loves an Albatross which ran all season to good reviews.

There's a major flaw to be found in "The Dinner Party". A key point in the action involves someone saying "God Bless You" as another sneezes. As the play is set in Paris and involves Parisians, Simon didn't realize that Europeans don't acknowledge sneezes the way we do in the States.
It's important to write about people and places that you're familiar with.
