I think 'Waiting For Godot' has four characters, and also 'The Bald Prima Donna'.

Waiting for the Parad. Its 4 Women. Its it a really good production. And only has 4 people in the whole thing.

Yep, I'm with Grayure, Waiting for Godot is great. Also try Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. Two of the best Absurdist plays in history!

much ado about nothing?

Check out plays by Samuel Beckett ('Waiting for Godot', 'Catastrophe', and 'Endgame'), Eugene Ionesco ('The Bald Soprano', 'Rhinoceros'), Alfred Jarry ('Ubu Roi', though I don't know if he wrote anything for 4 actors), Harold Pinter, Edward Albee, and Christopher Durang (''Dentity Crisis,' 'The Actor's Nightmare,' 'Baby With the Bathwater.' Again, you'd need to check the number of actors needed).

Other suggestions:
Joe Orton's 'Entertaining Mr. Sloane'. Orton is known for his bizarre and outrageous plays; I've seen this one performed, and it can be very powerful.

I recently did a production of Sartre's 'No Exit'; not strictly absurd (it's part of the existentialist movement), but it is a terrific piece of theatre. There's 4 characters, though one is a considerably smaller part. I suppose they can double as director. ;-)

Stoppard's 'Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead' is a wonderful play, but has far more than 4 characters. If you were looking to perform selections from the show, you could do it with just 4 (Ros, Guil, The Player, and Hamlet).

Sam Shepard is often considered an absurdist playwright. Both 'Fool for Love' and 'True West' require four actors (though 'True West' is more realistic than most of his work). Try looking into his earlier work.

Break a leg!

Who's On First? 2m/2w

Take a husband, wife, lover and friend, add a strange lamp, a gun and a rubber chicken plus a party that begins at 8 p.m., then again at 8 p.m. and then again at 8 p.m. and you have this nightmare comedy." Four people find themselves reliving one horrible hour over and over as themselves, as Japanese, as British aristocrats, as gangsters, and almost anything else you can think of. Camille is giving the party. Don shows up in a jealous funk about his wife, Alice, whom he suspects of seeing another man. When Alice and Ben have arrived, it turns out their relationship is innocent. But by the time Don realizes this he has already shot Ben, Alice and even Camille. Camille wishes that things might have turned out differently and that is what happens. All concerned find themselves back at the party's beginning again and again doomed to live that same hour over and over again until they get it right. Is it all an accident? Or is their dilemma part of someone's fiendish plan? A labyrinth of hilarity exits to a shocker of an ending.
