This is a list of notable plays written by W. Somerset Maugham (with GEMs highlighted). The list includes links for several associated items which may be available online for each book: (a) Wikipedia page, (b) e-book, and (c) audiobook. There is also a column called “More info” with links to optional posts on each book.
Note that the list is sortable by each column. (Multiple levels of sorting are possible by sorting more than one column in succession, from lowest to highest.) You can also do an instant filtering of the table by entering a character string in the ‘Search’ field.
Maugham was one of the most successful playwrights in the first half of the 20th century. He was also one of the first authors to make significant money from screenplays adapted from his stories. In addition to his work in the theater and movies, Maugham was a master of novels and short stories: his works in these categories are each listed in a separate section. Collectively, Maugham’s novels, short stories and plays constitute an amazing body of work spanning a period of over 50 years.
