British World

What would be a good British or World Literature play to teach to 12th grade?
Please no Shakespeare...already in the curriculum.
I would like something more modern and appealing for all student ability levels.
I teach Antigone to my Freshmen and Oedipus to my Seniors (http://www.webenglishteacher.com/sophocles.html). Even though it's "old," I think Oedipus has an interesting premise.
Here are some other ideas and materials for some classics:
Dr. Faustus (again, I think the idea of selling one's soul is interesting): http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1980/3/80.03.01.x.html;
http://www.webenglishteacher.com/marlowe.html
Pygmalion (I think teens can also relate to the idea of trying to "fit in." The first site here has some interesting ideas: http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1985/2/85.02.06.x.html; http://www.webenglishteacher.com/shaw.html
The Importance of Being Earnest: http://www.webenglishteacher.com/wilde.html
Fences (A teacher I work with teaches this, and his kids like it): http://www.webenglishteacher.com/awilson.html ; http://cte.jhu.edu/techacademy/web/2000/caulfield/
I've also seen script versions of To Kill a Mockingbird and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
