Not to nit-pick but, Stoppard was born in the Czech Republic and then lived in Singapore and India before moving to the UK. How is it that his plays are American? Don't get me wrong, LOVE his work, but I think he is on the wrong list here.

Stoppard, Nichols, and Peter Shaffer are all from the UK (either born or immigrated).

Folks, ARCADIA, EQUUS and COAST OF UTOPIA are not an American plays.

Folks, I love Stoppard as much as anyone. But he is ENGLISH. not American.

Oh, I see that others have noticed this also.

Yes, I think Tom Stoppard is fabulous, but he's not American - so I didn't vote for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, which I think is a superb play.

Many of these plays are not by Americans But I didn't have the strength of Susanna, so I voted for them anyway.

Removed on account of not being by American playwrights:

Equus, by Peter Shaffer
Arcadia, by Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, by Tom Stoppard
The Coast of Utopia, by Tom Stoppard
A Day in the Death of Joe Egg, by Peter Nichols

There are musicals that are good plays also, and lousy musicals that make good stage plays anyway. I put a few down.

I'm not personally way crazy for Crimes of the Heart, but as a Pulitzer winner, it should be here. I added it.

I can't believe 'Doubt' isn't on here. What a tremendous play.

You could add it. Who's it by?

Somehow, some-non-American plays are still on here despite word they were removed? Just a heads-up, in in case technical thing is going on.

Could be that they were removed, and then people voted for them again.

Removed, for not being by an American:

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
A Man for All Seasons
The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade

Removed for not being a play:

Of Mice and Men
The Bluest Eye

Question: is Bernard Pomerance, author of The Elephant Man, an American?

thanks. it is hard to keep up with. Of Mice and Men has an official play version if that matters.

I wondered about that, but what was on was the novel.

Why is La Cage Aux Folles on here? I'm pretty sure it's a French play.

Where is it?
