mentioned below, he may be to the depressive O'Neill, or... Tennessee Williams.
Shakespeare was a brilliant philosopher, poet, linguist, businessman, actor... and has stood in the forefront of theater by such a margin that none seriously challenge him.
I have read that Sophocles penned many great plays besides those we now have, with six or seven that won play of the year awards in Greece, but many of his most acclaimed plays, indeed most of his plays, have disappeared. At any rate, the Bard is the only playwright that has excelled in both tragedy and comedy.
One can think of perhaps two dozen directors equal to or surpassing Bergman.
