Actually, no...I think a play works best for a story with a strong plot (that can easily be condensed into a couple hours), and clear, snappy dialogue.
Meanwhile, my plots tend to get a bit murky (I tend to write really big plots AND focus more on the characters within them...2 hours would never do it justice), and my dialogue doesn't really 'snap' very often...I can't really imagine it being read in a 'stage voice'; it'd probably start to drag, and the audience would get bored...
