Thornton Wilder, Edward Albee, Arthur Miller, Federico Garcia Lorca, William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde; those are just some names if you're going off of introductory-level plays.

Also, A Doll's House was pretty underwhelming as far as the ability of a playwright goes.

no one considers A Doll's House to be his greatest work. It's just his most famous. It would be like criticising Shakespeare with the assumption that Romeo and Juliet is his greatest play. I'd agree that A Doll's House is more significant in terms of social context than his abilities as a playwright. Hedda Gabler, The Master Builder, When We Dead Awaken, and Peer Gynt speak much more of his abilities. Not that I am accusing you of having judged him before reading anything else. I would be interested to know how much of his work you have read.

Being Norwegian I'd say that Peer Gynt is his most famous play.

Fair enough. I suppose I directed it toward the Anglosphere more than anything. Peer Gynt is fairly obscure to us because of the awkwardness of translating verse. Whereas his prose plays don't lose as much of the quality through translation.

To most people outside of Norway Ibsen is known as the guy that wrote the 'proto-feminist' A Doll's House.
