Here are six plays that stand as landmarks of the modern drama: Chekhov's THREE SISTERS repeats, in terms of a handful of people, the spasms of a dying society. Isben's THE MASTER BUILDER is the tragedy of the modern romantic, caught between desire and reality. Shaw's MRS. WARREN'S PROFESSION shocked England and America; this play was the first honest attempt in our era to deal with prostitution. O'Casey's RED ROSES FOR ME is about a Protestant worker of Dublin who is a symbol of the ravaging conflicts in Ireland--and in man. Williams's THE GLASS MENAGERIE is a tender, despairing portrait of two women, one lost in the past, the other in herself. Miller's ALL MY SONS is a biting though compassionate, indictment of success through moral betrayal. We call these plays "modern."
