There's a lot of Literature by Egyptians themselves which would work remarkably as stage plays.
The Shipwrecked sailor is about an Egyptian official who gets castaway on a magical island and talks to a talking snake about life, before being rescued.
The Tale of Wenamun is about a priest that buys into Egyptian state propaganda and demands tribute from the city of Byblos before being laughed down as he realises Egypt is a shadow of what it once was
The Debate between a Man and his Ba (Soul) is a fantastic ""monologue"" as an Egyptian comes to grips with his depressing reality and contemplates suicide or living on.
All and more(Except possibly Wenamun) can be found in J. Allen's Middle Egyptian Literature
