The Ferryman by Jez Butterworth.

"I was putting young Mercy to bed earlier and she said to me, ‘Uncle Pat, Where has Seamus been all this time? Where has his soul been?’ And I opened my mouth to answer. But nothing came. I had no answer. In case she asks again, I was wondering what to say. Where would you say his soul has been, Father. Where has it been?"

(Also seconding the recs for Our Town and The Crucible)

For play, I would suggest "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller. Because the story is familiar, I think it helps settle into the structure of reading a script. Plus, it's an entirely captivating and haunting story.
