Answer: Edward Albee's "The Goat or Who is Sylvia?"

Edward Albee's recent Best Play winning drama - "The Goat or Who is Sylvia?" is an unlikely story - a succesful husband is having an affair behind his wife's back. With a goat.

Answer: Suzan Lori-Parks's "Topdog/Underdog"

Answer: George Bernard Shaw's "Mrs. Warren's Profession"

And yet every one of them is a monumentally different play.
10. 1. Cancer. 2. John Donne. 3. Popsicles.

Answer: Margaret Edson's "Wit"

Margaret Edson's play-turned-HBO-film is about a professor of the poetry of John Donne, and how she deals with the fact that she has become a test subject and is slowly dying from her ovarian cancer.
