| | Word/Author Associations: Playwrights | |
What are the first ten names that come into your mind when someone mentions playwrights? Modern or classic, like, dislike, or indifferent.
Who do you think of?
I'll post the first ten that pop into my head in a separate post so that I don't influence your associations.
