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?

Well

"Women Beware Women" by Middleton, Medea, Mother Courage is neither villain nor hero in my opinion, "The Personal Enquiry Officer" in Scapegoat (One of mine, I couldn't resist.) Abigail in The Crucible (I think she's a villain) Also take a read of Strindbergs "The Stronger" and "The Father" and "Miss Julie". I'm not sure about any of those characters. "The Maids" is an interestingly ambiguous performance for two women. What about "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf." is the central character villain or victim? Seriously there aren't enough good evil roles for women that don't become stereotypes. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
