I've Read 300 Plays Now...

This list includes every single play I've read, both long and short, since the summer of 2012 starting with Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Some of these plays were technically re-reads, in that I probably read the script back in college or something. And although I like to think this is a pretty good range of plays, you'll notice that the overwhelming majority are from the 20th and 21st centuries. It's been a prolific one hundred-some years, what can I say.

I still haven't figured out what I'm doing with all of this, but... here you go!
