Goodreads Top 100 Stage Plays of All Time - More Than 230 of Them! - Page 3

Classic Greek drama to modern plays and musicals. This is an overdue update of a challenge originally published in 2014 by NKOAS (and which actually did have 100 plays on its list). Please only tick an item if you have read the play or seen a live performance (not a precursor novel or a movie version respectively).
Goodreads blurb: "The list of recommendations of the "Top 100 Stage Plays of All Time" originates from the Serious Literature Group of Goodreads", whatever that means.
Notes: I included plays that had 200+ ratings on Goodreads and 2 or more votes (not very stringent criteria but enough to eliminate many suspect entries). Regarding books with titles of the form "MainPlay and Other Plays", I only used "MainPlay" on the challenge.
I predict that purists may frown at some of the dramatic works that have made it onto this list.
