So, my Drama class has gotten me a bit interested in reading plays, so come winter break I was hoping to read at least one play a week that won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. My break is only about a month long, so I was hoping to squeeze two plays in a week, but if anyone wants to join then I could just cut it down and try to set up another one in the future. I'm kicking around titles now, so if anyone is interested in following along let me know. I'll keep updating this list, but here's what I have so far.
1920's
Any of the 3 by O'Niell
1930's
Our Town - Thornton Wilder (I've read it three times in the past 4 months, so this will be included if others follow along)
You Can't Take it with You - George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart
One of the two Sherwoods
1940's
The Skin of Our Teeth - Thornton Wilder (I consider it to be his best play, same reasoning goes for this as well though)
Harvey - Mary Coyle Chase (It beat out The Glass Menagerie, so it better be good)
A Street Car Named Desire - Tennessee Williams
Death of a Salesman - Arthur Miller
1950's
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof - Tennessee Williams
Long Day's Journey into Night - Eugene O'Niell
The Shrike - Joseph Kramm
1960's
A Delicate Balance - Edward Albee
The Great White Hope - Howard Sackler
*Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf? - Edward Albee (No, it was never award the Prize, but the consensus is that this play deserves the Pulitzer and would have been awarded the prize if the board had not overturned the decision due to the controversial material. Either way, this is likely to be my entry from the 60's)
So those are some tentative titles I have been thinking about. This won't start until the beginning of December anyhow, but if anyone is interested in joining let me know, if not I'll just post here periodically as I read the plays.
