An anthology of well known plays from the middle of the last century. Many of these are old familiar friends that I have read before; a few were familiar friends that I had not happened to read before. The plays included are all of a high quality, though there are three that top the others: Waiting for Godot, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, and Rhinoceros. If you read no other plays in your lifetime, you should endeavor to read those, as the level of brilliance encompassed in those three plays matches that of Darwin, Newton, and Einstein in their respective fields. The play, Tango, by Slawomir Mrozek, was extremely thought provoking, not just for its ideas on rebellion in general, but for considering the historical background of modern theatre. ( )
