Not him, but I found it in the archive. Not a bad list, though it's missing some I would have included.

This looks pretty based.

Why don't y'all ever talk about plays? Hell, there aren't even that many threads on Shakespeare (there's a fair amount of threads about the man, but not much of any about his work).
Been doing a deep dive of Eugene O'Neill's work. So far the highlights have been The Emperor Jones, The Hairy Ape, The Great God Brown, and The Iceman Cometh.

Y'know back in the spring we had a poll for the Top 100 /lit/ plays and it came out pretty good, pic related.

>>19146150
Top-tier suggestions. I would also submit The Emperor Jones and Days Without End, both by O'Neill. As well as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Williams.

>>Fences
>Why the fuck are people unable to state who the author is of some lesser-known book with a generic ass title?
Fences is a very well-known play.

When this chart was being made, we were talking about how we oughta have threads where we perform plays.
How would we go about doing this? Would we use vocaroo?
How would we decide parts? Or would just anyone jump in anywhere without assignment?
And most importantly, what play should we do first?

Here you go, buddy. I saw that another anon was 'revamping' the chart to make it a little more appealing to the eye, but I don't know whether he was continuing with that venture.

Here is the chart containing the final results of /lit/'s Top 100 Plays Poll.
Now I am not the greatest interior designer in the world, I don't even truthfully know how computers work. The monthly charts I do are much smaller than this, which is the largest chart I've ever done. I admit that it may be a bit of an eyesore, so if any of you have more of a knack for this and would like to design it yourselves, I welcome you too!
But anyway, this was a lot of fun, guys, and we got a pretty decent chart out of it. Hopefully this will spur more anons to read theatre and start more discussions.
Thanks to everyone who participated! Happy Reading!
