In Arthur Laurents's A CLEARING IN THE WOODS, produced on Broadway in 1957, the heroine, played by Kim Stanley, confronts four younger versions of herself.

And in Joe Pintauro's BESIDE HERSELF, produced Off-Broadway by Circle Rep in 1989, the heroine confronts three younger versions of herself. I pointed out the similarity when I reviewed the Pintauro play, provoking an irritable letter from Joe in which he declared that neither he nor anybody else had ever heard of the Laurents play.

And, if we go beyond plays, dance offers several examples. The one that stands out the most for me is Martha Graham's great SERAPHIC DIALOGUE with three aspects of Joan of Arc danced by three dancers.
