Call for Nomination for a Play

I nominate The Comedy of Errors by the most famous playwright of all, William Shakespeare. It is not a long play but is "Hilarious fun, this early comedy is filled with the merry violence of slapstick and farce".
I nominate Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes by Tony Kushner, because I've meant to read it for a long time and I've always heard it's a beautiful one.
I nominate The Crucible by Arthur Miller because it sounds really interesting and I've been meaning to read it for a while.
I nominate 'Topdog/Underdog' by Suzan-Lori Parks. She was the first African American woman playwright to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama. I just read her play, 'In the Blood' which I thought was very good.*Edit* ~ Topdog/Underdog was the play which won her the award.
I'll go with A Streetcar Named Desire. Well regarded, made for a fine film with Marlon Brando, and has been on my to-read list for ages.
