# List of plays adapted into feature films: A to I

This is a list of plays that have been adapted into feature films, hose titles fall into the A–I alphabetic range. Entries are sorted alphabetically by the title of the play. The title of the play is followed by its first public performance, its playwright, the title of the film adapted from the play, the year of the film and the film's director. If a film has an alternate title based on geographical distribution, the title listed will be that of the widest distribution area. This is a dynamic list and may never be complete. It is limited to entries in which either the play or its film adaptation have an existing article on the English-language Wikipedia. It does not include films based on plays with an unknown title.
