There's John Krizanc's <i>Tamara</i> where each audience member
follows a different character through the house and experiences
entirely different scenes in the play (including the ending).<br>
<br>
And I saw <i>Sleep No More</i> in New York this fall, a wild and
loose adaptation of <i>MacBeth</i>, where you do the same thing
as in <i>Tamar</i><i>a</i> but you can also just wander the old
hotel on your own and explore the densely curated and designed
rooms across six floors.<br>
<br>
And in a different sense, Caryl Churchill rewrote the ending to <i>Cloud
9</i> for its American premier (though it's not a choice).<br>
<br>

The first Canadian one that pops to mind for me is Rex Deverell's TYA play, *Copetown City Kite Crisis*, where the audience votes for the ending it wants.

Subject: plays with alternate endings
Hello
Class is working with Lion in the Streets this week and some students were struck by the presence of two possible endings and asked if this was unique. I said it’s not common but is far from unique… on the spot, however, I ran out of examples after an Acadian play I know and Fo’s Death of an Anarchist… figured I’d come up with some more before going back to class tomorrow but the mind is blank…. Any titles come to mind??
Glen
