The Father by Florian Zeller. A darkly funny and frightening study of a man in the grip of Alzheimers. Excellent.

Howie the Rookie by Mark O'Rowe. Two linked monologues of life in the Rough part of Dublin. Written like an Irish James Kelman or Irvine Welsh.
Excellent.

They Knew What They Wanted 1925 Pulitzer winner. Dated with a full complement of social and racial stereotypes.

The War in Heaven by Sam Shepard. A radio play, abstract and poetic. Was originally set with music and difficult to assess without it.

Gem of the Ocean, I know it's not July anymore but there is no forum for November. I want to read all of August Wilson'swork not in the order that they were written, but in the historical
order they take place.

>5 alans: I did that last year. A good exercise. You appreciate themes in the plays that you wouldn't otherwise. The mythic quality really comes across.
