It depends if you want classical (or Period) or contemporary -
Classic / Period: SENSE & SENSIBILITY, MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR, ELECTRA, O'Neill's ANNA CHRISTIE is being done a lot by regional theatres now, Chekhov writes great women as well.
Contemporary: Wendy Wasserstein is awesome, PROOF is great if overdone of late, Charles Busch writes great women if you want comedy, I second GIRLS GUIDE TO CHAOS, WOMEN ON THE VERGE (?)- Three women play - fun.

I would also suggest going to Drama Books and asking the staff (They love to help) and then going to Lincoln Center - Library for the Performing Arts. You can get them for free - and copy specific scenes if needed.

Savage in Limbo - John Patrick Shanley (Thanks for mentioning him in previous posts - I wouldn't have remembered otherwise)

Closer - recent British, can't remember playwright's name - there MIGHT be scenes between the two women, I can't really remember

This is a great thread, esp. for a novice.

In general does anyone have any recommendations of contemporary women playwrights or plays w/ female central characters in addition to what's already been mentioned here?

Thanks very much!
