Theatre Books
Mostly Plays

Arthur Miller's first play. Ernie was my favorite. That's My Three Sons, stupid. Oh. Like all of his plays, this one deals with truth. | |||
| All My Sons by Arthur Miller | ||||
Read the play, don't see the movie. Wonderful theatre, horrible cinema. Psychological study of a child psychologist who begins to question his own worth when he starts treating a young man who commited a horrible, violent act on six horses. |

William Shakespeare: The Complete Works | |||
| Okay. Listen up. They are not literature, they're theatre, but every actor should be familiar with them. You should read these. At least one or two. Or hang your head in shame. | ||||
|
Once you've read the master, you might as well read this. Every single play written by William S. , and a few of the poems and sonnets, reduced to one manic, overwhelmingly hysterical conglomeration of twisted lunacy | |||
| I read it! I actually know this one! Very good, Steve. For a class, right? Shut up, Geoff. O'Neill's portrait of his miser father, his addicted mother and his life as a young man. |

Post Restoration comedy. Rhymed couplets. People hiding in closets and under tables. The king saves the day. In Moliere's time, a man of the theatre could not be buried in holy ground unless he recanted before death. Moliere died on stage. Tartuffe and Other Plays by Moliere |
Three plays by the master of theatre situation comedy. Funny stuff. | ||
|
Stanislavski's autobiography. Didn't he play hockey? Yup. |

There is more in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your theatre books, Horatio. | |||
