plays with alternate endings

[T. Berto]

Of course there's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. From what I remember Elia Kazan had Williams rewrite in, but the original is usually included in most publications and has been performed often. The original ending is much more ambiguous and not nearly as hopeful. 

Guillermo Verdecchia's Line In The Sand had a whole ending scene removed between two presentations. Both published in the same printing I believe. Mind you, other plays of Verdecchia's include a whole series of notes as to how the play evolves over the course of production, giving a multitude of forms to the script.

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??
