Watch a movie based on a play

Before the cinema, we watched plays together. With most cinemas still closed, this week’s challenge is to watch a movie that’s based on a play. Suggested by Twitter follower @lewiscook

While some classic plays, like the work of William Shakespeare, have been represented on the big screen since the early days of the cinema, there are excellent movies out there you might not have realised started life on the stage. While often told with the use of limited sets, these stories were still gripping enough to make the transition to the screen.
