Here is a book available at the Toronto Reference Library, that discusses 100 important, wonderful plays that have been performed on various British stages, between 1945 and 2010.

Played in Britian

"And yet, plays, all plays," writes Richard Griffiths in the foreword, "like butterflies, moths and summer morning mists, are classical examples of the ephemeral…(and) exist only to be listened to in living performance." 

Maybe.  We have most, if not all of these plays on our shelves in the Arts Department.  Why not come down and read some of them for yourself?

 

Eron        
Jerusalem          
Behzti

Revengers comedies        
Statements

Rosencrantz and guilderstern are dead        
Oh what a lovely war        
The deep blue sea

 

And of course, we can't forget the longest running play of them all!

 

Mousetrap

Act 1 of the Mousetrap, so you can listen too!
