That play you've always wanted to do.

Just looking for people's own choices here: is there a play that you've always wanted to be involved with, but so far haven't done it? Maybe it's just too obscure or unpopular for anyone to put it on, maybe you've auditioned for it in the past but never got in, maybe you just haven't got around to staging it yet. My pick is Shakespeare's Coriolanus - it's an awesome and, I think, deeply underrated tragedy. What's your choice?
