A marvelous collection of plays from my college years that essentially provided my theatre education. A great variety of playwrights and styles are here, and a huge number of classics: Ibsen, Shaw, Strindberg, Chekhov, Artaud, Jarry, Brecht, Wilde, Yeats, Synge, Anouilh, Giraudoux. O'Neill, Odets, Pinter, Osborne, Miller, Williams. It was published in 1970, revised from editions dating back to 1935, so commits a great sin of omission. The only black playwright--LeRoi Jones, shortly after known as Amiri Baraka. The only woman? Hellman. That's why 4 stars and not 5. This appears to be the last edition of this work. Too bad! What would be included in 2018? ( )
