The best newer plays#1

I know there are lots of lists online that rank plays like A Streetcar Named Desire, Waiting for Godot etc as the greatest plays written but I was wondering what do people think are some of the plays that in thirty/forty years time, people will still be reading and going to see? I personally would say The Beauty Queen of Leenane and August: Osage County. I am drawn to darker plays and both of these are pretty near perfect to me.

I know what I'd pick as "The Best Vague Topic Title".

 

Could you try a little harder to put more there?  It will get you more direct replies.

You have to edit it in your original post.  

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Not sure what happened there but it's all covered in the thread topic itself :)
