Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon discussion

I have books of plays sitting around on my shelves, so I figured 'how hard could this be?' Well, almost none of my books of plays include ones by women. I must have read a few in my many years of reading, but not many. What are you reading for this challenge?

I finally found one book, The Pocket Book of Modern American Plays(1942), edited by Bennett Cerf (which I may need to make a page for in Goodreads this week after I double and triple check that it is not already in Goodreads). It has a play, Margin for Error, written by Clare Boothe. Till I find my bigger anthologies of plays again, that may be it for my current book collection right now for this prompt.

Here are some of my favorite women dramatists.

Sarah Ruhl has written some good plays and one excellent one imo: In the Next Room, or the Vibrator Play. For reasons of transparency, this play could be rated R-17.

Lorraine Hansberry wrote A Raisin in the Sun which has been made into at least into 2 movies.

I will be reading For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf

I also have read three plays of Wendy Wasserstein who among other plays wrote The Heidi Chronicles which was made into a movie at least once shortly after written. Written in 1989. . . . I know a remake was cast in then last few years.

Also on my sometime list is Oroonoko by Aphra Behn.

I read Ditch. It's not bad I just cant suggest it.
