When the creators of drama are evaluated by posterity, the period during which those dramas were created were never excluded from the purview. This happens because the social structure which necessitated those dramas and made them relevant in those times were certainly rich in more drama than a dramatic creation of those times could contain, which means any dramatist could present within a few hours in an arena or theatre only a negligible portion of all the drama present in that society in that time. Therefore balanced evaluation of drama always takes into account the time and age in which it was created. In Greek Drama which is also ancient, Sophocles and Euripedes are considered equal. In the modern English Drama, William Shakespeare is considered unequalled, so we place George Bernard Shaw and Jean Paul Sartre second to him. Anyway, they are the peaks in the land of drama.
