 Topic: Looking for a challenge...Posted: 6/16/10 at 12:29am |

I am a director for a high school competitive drama team. Last year we challenged ourselves by performing Eurydice. We got rave reviews! I am looking for something for the up-coming year and am having a hard time finding something that I like. Can you suggest any plays that will really push the kids (and myself)? I would LOVE any help you can give! CBCSES

Are you doing one-act or full-length plays?

Either a one-act or a cutting. Guess that would have been helpful to know~ |

Okay then -
From my work - check out White Buffalo (Regional runner-up in Texas 5A 2 years ago) - full length show, need to cut it - I know the person who cut it to 40 mins if you're interested.
The Birds: A Modern Adaptation (full-length)
(read it online for free by clicking on read sample)
for a one-act, try The Bells of Charlemont (state champion in North Dakota this year)
And brand new this year, Oz, my strange modern adaptation of the Wizard of Oz - one-act (should be availble in about 2 weeks, but I can send you an advance copy)
From stuff I didn't write, I'd recommend Black Snow
Amadeus (Sam French)
and anything and everything by Don Nigro, particularly Paganini and Mariner. Some pretty awesome stuff.

If you consider Shakespeare to be a challenge, then there is a series of Shakespeare abridgements which condense the original texts to 30- to 50-minute shows, whilst retaining the original language.
