These are way too many popular and wildly obscure plays. Have fun or don't! Totally random order. If you get like 10 thats pretty impresive.

Please accept "Calderón" as a type-in for Calderón de la Barca.

Good idea. You may want to put in a few more well-known plays for some authors like Chekhov, O'Neill, Williams, Ibsen, or Pinter. But I see that was not the object.

(I got 25, but a few were only guesses. I'm very glad I've seen Equus on stage. I see it's not a very well-known play, and it would deserve more. I didn't get The Proposal by Chekhov, though I realised later that I'd seen it, too.)
