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?

For soome bizarre reason I've always wanted to play Gloucester (?) in Lear, the one that gets his eyes put out... That has to say something that this role has ALWAYS fascinated me! Have also always wanted to play Lady Bracknell in Earnest... Thank the Gods there is a tradition of her played by blokes! Actually always wanted to play Lady M in an all-male production of MickyB as well... One of these days I will also get to direct Nine and Hal V And the Gods help me if I get my hands on Les Miz or Phantom - I have two BRILLIANT regietheater productions in my head that would probably get me lynched :-)
