Pool of Bethesda by Allan Cubitt is brilliant - switches between Victorian and modern day, act one is confusing but then act two sorts everything out, deals with art/death/relationships and I just adore it. Also great since it has three rocking female roles
Anything Brecht will be unusual and a challenge. Arturo Ui is pretty timely depending on your political stance, and Good Person of Szechwan is a favorite.
A Dream Play is sooo odd
Peer Gynt is great and there is a modern day western adaptation that you may prefer
Blood Wedding I think is wicked cool too
Coram Boy I have heard much about - the production at Nationals is legend (although I missed that year!)
Anything Caryl Churchill (Mad Forest is probably the most accessible although Cloud Nine and/or Top Girls are better plays in my opinion - Vinegar Tom works well too)
The Serpent
Adding Machine I also quirky and I love - the ending just falls apart in my eyes
hope that helps!

Subject: Challenging and different play
Hi everyone!
I am looking for a play to do with HS students. Something that is challenging and out of this world! Something interesting for the audience and not typical...
