Mike,
 
To supplement the list, Matt also had two excellent suggestions for Measure for Measure, including the great (and potentially funny) prison scene featuring Claudio's fear-of-death speech that echoes some of the images and ideas in Hamlet's "To Be or Not To Be" soliloquy but without all the cultural baggage and onerous stage history, i.e., it's still fresh and not overdone.  Here's the excerpt from Matt's earlier email:
