As a primary school drama teacher, what movie would you adapt for an unconventional stage play?
Something like the Hateful 8.
Just to see the shocked faces of all those parents, when their little crotch goblins start throwing the N-word around.
And I bet the have never seen squibs in a school play before, either.

I’m not sure your question is sincere, but I will respond as if it is.
I think Finding Nemo could be a great adaptation, especially if there is a staff member or parent who is talented with face makeup. Crepe paper strips in shades of green and blue hung from a ceiling or light fixtures could set the uderwater scene.
It could easily be cut back to a thirty minute performance.
I was going to say Alien but that’s actually been done.
Scarface perhaps..
Inception would be interesting…
Hair
Julius Caesar (especially the stabbing scene)
The Children’s Hour by Lillian Hellman
Definitely Twelve Angry Men and Reservoir Dogs.

“The Man who would become King” ( 1975 Sean Connery adaptation of Rudyard Kipling
Novella
I saw this many times and never tired of it.
The message is about greed for power will come to an ill end eventually.
Detective Story
It’s about a police officer who is so stuck up with the law that he actually causes people more grief than happiness, and he realizes the lesson a bit too late.
Why should it be a play? Because primary students have this “us vs them” mentality justified by the “moral standards” they hold. This adaptation will teach them that life isn’t all black-and-white, and you have to reach out to different people and understand their side of the story. Seriously, if kids are taught how to be open-minded at a young age, most of the problems they face as teenagers will be much easier to deal with.
