Please help me find a play, for school!

Last year we did Arthur Miller's Incident At Vichy. It was great! I recommend that play.

This year I do not know what to do? Ideally it should be short-ish, and have no major swearing. Also it probably should not have any sexualised female roles, since it is an all boys school.

The thing is, I'd really it to be a play I liked! That is what was good about Vichy, and that's what's stopping me from pulling the trigger on 12 angry men, or something? I don't know, I just feel I can be a much better director if I'm actually enthusiastic about what we're doing.

Does anyone have any suggestions? They can be wicked obscure, if you like.

The government Inspector
In Parenthesis, this is actually a radio play but my school adapted this for the stage, its about world war 1 and good for an all male cast (original broadcast script)

I presume you need a lot of parts otherwise

Deathwatch
Waiting for Godot

Yeah, a realistic minimum of eight 5+ line parts I think :(

Thanks for the suggestions!

We did Coriolanus towards the end of my time at school. It was quite interesting getting to grips with an unwieldy, unfashionable Shakespeare, and having a think about why other ones are eternally popular instead, and where this one went wrong. It also gets quoted (or at least cited) in the upmarket media reasonably often, and it's nice to have an idea what they're talking about.
