I like Beckett, Pinter, Artaud, Chekhov, Genet
Euripides, Sophocles, Aeschylus
Mishima has some good plays as well

Which Mishima should I start with?

They're kind of challenging since they're heavily based on traditional Nōh
I'd start with Madame de Sade and My Friend Hitler

Correct me if I am wrong, but William Butler Yeats based a lot of his plays off Nōh as well.

feel like all the plays I've read beside Shakespeare weren't worth reading. Besides Faust which was just a long poem basically.
