plays with alternate endings

[Don Rubin]

rob fothergill wrote a play about university strikes that had an 
alternate ending. you can check it with him (robf at yorku.ca)

several plays by the nigerian playwright femi osofisan have alternative 
endings including his famous Four Robbers.

then there's that old play (or is it a story) about the two doors -- 
behind one there's a beautiful maiden and behind the other a man-eating 
lion. but maybe that doesn't count. the doors are never opened. or are they?
