Playwright(s) You Would Like to Have Over for Dinner#1

This might not be a very popular thread because of this one: https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.cfm?boardname=bway&thread=953363#3416745

But if you could, who would you like to have a dinner party/conversation with?

Yes, dead or alive does apply.

Living:

Edward Albee
Martin McDonough
Douglas Carter Beane

Dead:

Christopher Marlowe
Tennessee Williams
Noel Coward

This does not represent my favorite playwrights (although I like them all); I would NEVER want to invite Eugene O'Neill, although I think he's America's greatest playwright.

I can't believe I forgot about Tennessee Williams and Noel Coward! I think it's because I haven't something by them recently. They'd totally be invited.
