Which plays do you most want to see? – open thread

Miss Julie

If you wanted to see Strindberg's Miss Julie over the last year, you would have been spoiled for choice, with productions popping up all over the country. And in Britain you're probably only ever a few feet away from a revival of A Midsummer Night's Dream or Alan Ayckbourn's A Chorus of Disapproval. Alan Bennett's The History Boys can currently be seen in both Sheffield and Colchester, and there is now a Piaf at the Octagon in Bolton hot on the heels of a revival at Leicester's Curve. Winslow Boys and Doll's Houses also seem to come in pairs.

Given just how many plays are available to them (with more being written all the time) it seems astonishing that most theatres choose from such a small body of work. So tell us the plays – older or more recent – that you are longing to see and which you believe are well worthy of revival.
