In the past few months, I saw several facebook notes discussing their respective authors' favorite books, concerts, films, etc.
So, I thought, why not try it myself. I am compiling the first list: let's call it important theatre texts. Important for my own frame of mind and love of dramatic layerings. The second list will record those theatre productions (adaptations) that altered, for the better (always for the better) my love of the stage.
There is no order in the listing; I am writing the titles down as memory of the first read comes to mind.
