Six Great Modern Plays

Here are six plays that stand as landmarks of the modern drama:

Chekhov’s THREE SISTERS repeats, in terms of a handful of people, the spasms of a dying society.

Isben’s THE MASTER BUILDER is the tragedy of the modern romantic, caught between desire and reality.

Shaw’s MRS. WARREN’S PROFESSION shocked England and America; this play was the first honest attempt in our era to deal with prostitution. 

O’Casey’s RED ROSES FOR ME is about a Protestant worker of Dublin who is a symbol of the ravaging conflicts in Ireland—and in man.

Williams’s THE GLASS MENAGERIE is a tender, despairing portrait of two women, one lost in the past, the other in herself.

Miller’s ALL MY SONS is a biting though compassionate, indictment of success through moral betrayal.
