The Glass Menagerie (Penguin Plays & Screenplays)
3.  The Glass Menagerie (Penguin Plays & Screenplays) by Tennessee Williams

Playhouse Creatures (Acting Edition)
9.  Playhouse Creatures (Acting Edition) by April De Angelis

The Lonesome West (Methuen Modern Plays) (Modern Classics)
11.  The Lonesome West (Methuen Modern Plays) (Modern Classics) by Martin McDonagh
