I've done House.  It's a wonderful piece to work on.  It's available
through Playwrights Union of Canada.  MacIvor has written some wonderful
solo pieces for men.  He originally performed them, but I don't think
they're so personal that anohter actor can't do them.  Others to look for
are:

Wild Abandon (published with See Bob Run)
Here Lies Henry
Monster (I'm hoping to work on this one this summer).
