Heading to the city end of October... which straight plays should I see? On or Off Broadway.

Another vote for The Inheritance. Totally worth two show slots.

"Slave Play" or "Our Dear Dead Drug Lord". Last two I saw and both are excellent.

The Sound Inside and The Inheritance, both rich in plot with superlative performances.

Perhaps off topic but why are they sometimes called straight plays instead of just plays? Shouldn’t calling one a play and the other a musical be enough of a distinction?

Yes, it should, but some people use the term “play” to refer to any stage performance (think “high school play” for example). Also, I think sometimes musicals used to be referred to as “musical plays” (I’ve seen that description used occasionally in published versions of older musicals). So “straight play” indicates that it’s performed “straight” (I.e without singing and dancing).
But yes, I agree with you. The term is kind of outdated and unnecessary. Plus it invites silly jokes like the one above

Sound Inside. I smell a Tony for Parker. Get a close seat.

The Sound Inside. Suspenseful, consistently intriguing, and beautifully written. Received excellent reviews and Mary Louise Parker is absolutely brilliant. Plus it's 90 minutes!

Is The Sound Inside appropriate for a teenage?

The Slave Play. It's the best play I have seen in a very long time. Deeply uncomfortable, moving, hilarious, witty, beautifully performed and directed.
Caption: Every so often there was a rare moment of perfect balance when I soared above him.
