plays with alternate endings

[Craig Walker]

The Mystery of Edwin Drood---the musical
Night of January 16th, by Ayn Rand (jury verdict)
and maybe Shaw's "Cymbeline Refinished" counts.

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.

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??
