Shakespearean Tragedies

I am officially jealous. I wish that my school had hosted its own Ren Faire. I'd look at Coriolanus Act 3, Scene 1 where Coriolanus, the celebrated general who was destined to be elected consul of Rome, turns against the plebeians due to his arrogance and ends up being exiled. Coriolanus Act 5, Scene 3 where Coriolanus meets with his wife and mother and chooses to sacrifice his own life for the good of Rome, the city that betrayed and exiled him, is also excellent. (Also Act 5, Scene 6 where Coriolanus dies at the hands of his enemy-turned-partner Aufidius.) You could also do an effective mash-up of Titus Andronicus Act 2, Scenes 3 and 4 -- the rape of Lavinia and her discovery by her uncle, Marcus.

If you're looking for something more frequently performed: Othello Act 5, Scene 2 -- the death of Desdemona -- is a powerful two-hander if done well. As is Hamlet Act 3, Scene 4 -- the closet scene where Hamlet appeals to his mother Gertrude and, in the process, murders Polonius who's hiding in the closet. And Macbeth Act 1, Scene 3 (the introduction of the Weird Sisters); Act 2, Scene 2 (Macbeth and Lady Macbeth immediately after the murder of Duncan); and Act 5, Scene 1 (the famous "out, damned spot!" scene where Lady Macbeth goes mad because of her involvement in her husband's crimes and takes her own life). Ophelia also has her famous descent into insanity scene in Act 5, Scene 4 of Hamlet if you want to go that route.
