Curt Holman’s 50 favorite plays of the decade
Ive loosely arranged this list of my most fondly remembered theatrical experiences by year rather than alphabetically or order of preference. Trying to cull a list from the best-lists of previous years reflects some unconscious prejudices (like new plays over canonical works), so the fine work of Georgia Shakespeare, among other companies, may be underrepresented. For consistencys sake, I refer to theaters by their current name: “Synchronicity Theatre” vs. “Synchronicity Performance Group,” for instance. Feel free to take issue.
