I've seen the Trojan Women cut down to under 45 min!. successfully!.
There's a play calles "Asylum" that was cut down well, too!.

It's going to be tricky to find a One Act play with that large of a cast, but if you look at the playbills of high school acting competitions, you'll find lots of shows that can be cut down to that time frame!. (Try looking up state theatre conferences!. For example, the Kentucky Theatre Association's High School competition gives schools a 45 minute time slot, and they chose a wide variety of plays with largeish casts!.)

I've used several of Dramatist Play Service's scripts, and have found them to be extremely easy to work with!.
