Stage Plays that would make good films?


Do you have any plays you enjoyed, and think would make a fine movie?

I saw this small play a few years back in Boston, it was called "Sheer Madness". A kind of twist on Clue. funny, mysterious and very unique. would be a cool film i think.

I think if it fell into the right hands, Sam Shepard's Buried Child would make one hell of a horror/melodrama/family drama.

(0f course, Fool For Love got made into a film and that kind of stunk IMO).

I would love to see a film of "Death and the King's Horseman". At the same time, I realize it's too dense a play to adapt to screen. It barely works as a play, but it's an excellent one.

I support your right to express yourself, and my right to call you a dumbass.

I'm not sure how well it could be adapted but I would love to see The Pillowman reach a wider audience.
