The determined-looking Henrik Ibsen, one of my favourite playwrights, was born on 20 March 1828.

Oh, he ended up with an incredible beard. He is definitely a member of the social club.

Great head of hair and I bet those eyes are really blue. Never mind he could write, too.

Yes, yes he could definitely write. He’s one of my top 5 favourite playwrights. I agree-I imagine him with blue eyes, too.

So who are the other four, maedez – Lillian Hellman? Arthur Miller?

Well, George Bernard Shaw is my favourite writer. Period. He is number one. The other four, in no particular order, are: Henrik Ibsen, Anton Chekhov, Clifford Odets, and Thornton Wilder (but not Our Town). Arthur Miller is up there, too, though. Perhaps I should say top 6, in no particular order. 🙂
