LOL, A Doll's House is indeed more "readable" than Waiting for Godot, but they are important to the theatre in different ways. Glad you enjoyed them.
And Bonjour Tristesse ... girlunderglass >>
Oh, A Doll's House was captivating! And it (like most plays) is a very quick read, so even if you hate it, not much time will be lost. ;^) always been curious to read Ibsen's A Doll's house - it seems to be one of those that everyone has read and makes me feel stupid admitting not to in conversations haha. I need to get to it soon! ... so far this year--and certainly the most compelling book I've read on the particular subject that I can remember.

I finished A Doll's House this week (updated my profile page now) and am currently reading another Ibsen, A Wild Duck. I very much enjoyed A Doll's House, which incidentally is now the first play I ever read. I intend to read a few more plays this year and suggestions on the same would be ... 8. A Doll's House - Henrik Ibsen
This is the first play I have ever read and I was impressed! The play talks about how even the loved ones make an image for us, which may be very contrary to the real us and what is worse is that knowingly or unknowingly we actually live up to the image! And ... ... far my friend has given me Equus, The Crucible, Lord of the Flies, Victory: Choices in Reaction, Hedda Gabler and A Doll's House.
