100 Greatest American Plays - Page 2

These are important American dramatic works discussed in depth in the book "100 Greatest American Plays" (Thomas S. Hischak, 2017). Plus some more fun from the larrikin Aussie retiree: the 3 photos in the list image are from live performances. Can you work out from which specific play in each case?
The plays are in reverse chronological order (2012-1787). Please only check an item if you have read the play (not a related novel) or seen a theatrical performance (not a movie).
