Agree with original poster; Man From Earth is an astonishing film. Just found it as a script for the play at the iBooks Store for $10.

I've seen the film a number of times and never tire of it but it would be even more impressive as a stage play. I was thinking of "!2 Angry Men" which was a powerful film shot in one room (well, not counting the two minutes in the rest room) but live on stage was a gut-wrenching experience.
