I’ve been thinking about this one for a while, it’s a tough question. Moonlight was originally a play, but the play was never produced to my knowledge, so that would be up there. I was a big fan of the Joel Coen Macbeth as well, that’s probably my favourites Shakespeare film adaptation. My number one though would probably be Hyenas, a Senegalese adaptation of The Visit - transposing the play to Africa says a lot about colonialism and the ramifications of it in the post- colonial world. An underseen classic of African cinema.

Don't think this one has been mentioned here yet, but the 1983 film of Pinter's Betrayal is absolutely brilliant. (It's available on Youtube to watch for free) It has an all-star cast - Ben Kingsley, Patricia Hodge, Jeremy Irons - giving great performances and it's very nicely shot. I've never actually seen the play live but after watching the film it's definitely on my list!

Thanks edelweiss I enjoyed Betrayal immensely. Youtube is now suggesting I watch Way up stream. Never seen it on stage but as a kid I was terrified by the man lurking in the reeds ...
