You are looking for a play with ONLY men or can the play have women and no more than five men?

I wanna say The Water Engine by David Mamet, but when I did the show several of the boys did a few different characters.
Oh, but there are women in that show...

If you're looking for plays with both male and female characters, but 5 or less male parts, may I reccomend Neil LaBute's "The Shape of Things," Patrick Marber's "Closer" (though with the movie coming out God knows what royalities will be) and, if you're slightly risky, David Mamet's "Sexual Perversity in Chicago."

With just a male cast, the only one I can think of right this second is "Art."

ART immediately came to mind. (You did say 5 OR LESS men)

TRUE WEST has just one very small part for a woman. Maybe you could borrow one? lol

Frozen, which only has one man, and Neil Simon's "The Dinner Party" which has three men and three women.

HYSTERICAL!! Lots of physical humor, and lots of door slamming. Best comedy have ever seen a high school perform. Plus i was in it a while back.

Arsenic and Old Lace. I've seen Dr. Enstien played as a woman. It was done very well.
