*I don’t think it’s on NPX
**This list intentionally only includes women + GNC playwrights. There is a huge parity issue in theatre. If there’s even one play on this list that you haven’t read, you should read it.
***Obvious failings of this list: I wish this list was more racially diverse. I need to be better. Theatre needs to be better.
