umm let's see, in no particular order, some plays that are think are totally excellent are:
a long day's journey into night - eugene o'neill
no exit - sartre (trite i know i know but i've studied it extensively and have nice memories of directing it for a gr 12 final)
swimming to cambodia - spalding gray (not technically a play, technically a film and even more technically a monologue but a very powerful piece of theater available on vhs)
i used to really like this canadian playwright named daniel mcivor (sp? i think) i can't for the life of me remember what play of his i really like...i think it also had to do with 'swimming' or drowning or something, it was a long time ago.
there are others that i like, mostly not qualitatively but because i have a personal connection to them. theater used to be my life. anyways, hope that indulged yr curiosity. xo
