That play you've always wanted to do.

Just looking for people's own choices here: is there a play that you've always wanted to be involved with, but so far haven't done it? Maybe it's just too obscure or unpopular for anyone to put it on, maybe you've auditioned for it in the past but never got in, maybe you just haven't got around to staging it yet. My pick is Shakespeare's Coriolanus - it's an awesome and, I think, deeply underrated tragedy. What's your choice?

The odd one out

I want to do all the old boring stuff like Hamlet, Algernon in Importance of.. and so forth, yet I am rapidly getting to old to play these parts. So now I find myself looking towards parts I am still too young to play like Fagin from Oliver!

My odd one out is 16 Words for Water (Billy Marshall Stoneking). Read it years back and loved the script. Far too young to be Mr Pound but that is for the future. I have submitted it for a season some where and they are still to finalise their 2010 season so I may get a chance to direct it... here's hoping.
