Thank you for educating me. > Rachel _WFG_ is a short, mostly accessible play, famous and influential but well worth reading for pleasure (even more so I think in the original easy French), though funnier/sadder in performance - there are probably good versions widely available on dvd. (I'm speaking as someone who finds _Antigone_, G.B. Shaw, even a lot of Shakespeare a drag.) Having bothered to write the above, I'd like to recommend another favorite mid-century play, _The Lady's Not For Burning_ by Christopher Fry. It's written in dense verse, but it's beautiful and pointed and funny.
