The Importance of Being Earnest
Oscar Wilde
Prestwick House Inc., 2005
Best play I've ever read
The wit in which Wilde writes is incredible. It's a quick short play so you should definitely read it if you love plays. It's funny, and just quite great!

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
Tom Stoppard
Grove Press, 1994

This play was during the age known as Theatre of the Absurd, ...

Macbeth (Folger Shakespeare Library)
William Shakespeare
Washington Square Press, 2003
Yale's may be the best edition of Macbeth

Very nice
The book is very informative. It has cheatsheets printed on the back cover. There is also information to help you with your first speech because the author realized that speeches would be prepared before the student could finish reading the book.
