I'd choose to be in a David Rudkin play, though I only know his television work. (Penda's Fen and Artemis 81.)
You've seen Penda's Fen! I've been trying to get hold of that for years; it's always sounded amazing. I've never heard of Artemis 81.
(I see Rudkin is also responsible for the dramatization of The Master and Margarita that cast Matt Smith as Korovyev/Fagott. I have no idea about the rest of the production, but I've always thought he would have been perfect in that role.)
Truthfully, I don't think anyone's staged them in years; I read them in Peake's Progress.
This past year, I kept hearing about productions as part of his centenary, but i never saw any of them; I wasn't in the right country.
I'm ambivalent about Beckett. John Hurt in Krapp's Last Tape, though: yes.

I should see that.
