Good, short play to read?

[weflyhigh]

Has anyone read a good (preferably not too long - maybe 3-4 hours tops?) play recently or know of a good one to read?
Something easy to read would be best, but I'm not a complete idiot so unless it's extremely complex it should be good

Cliffs:
Good play?

The Lesson by Ionesco! That play is quite short and totally random. I saw it acted once after reading it and it is insane. It belongs to "Theater of the Absurd" grouping.

My favorite: The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner by Alan Sillitoe

Do you know where I could find a copy of the script online? I doubt my school's/local library would have it...

EDIT: I don't think "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" is a play btw?

J.B. by Archibald McLeish
Someone to Watch Over Me by Frank McGuinness

Off the top of my head. J.B. approaches "great" literature in my opinion. Although my Brit Lit professor disagrees. :roll:

What kind of play are you looking for?

Anything by Shakespeare...preferably Hamlet, or Othello.

To be honest, one that I can reasonably compare/contrast to "A Doll's House" by Ibsen
By reading Wikipedia's summary on "An Inspector Calls", it may be just what I'm looking for, so hopefully that will be in the library

In reply to another poster: we have already read* Hamlet. Thanks, though. *typo
