I don't know if he'd actually do it, but I'd love to see Nolan adapt the stage play "Noises Off" for a couple reasons:
1. Nolan has done "films about filmmaking" before with Inception and The Prestige and Noises Off already has that "play within a play" aspect as part of its story.
2. Want to see Nolan step a little out of his comfort zone but STILL have an aspect of the story (the "play within a play" aspect I alluded to in 1.) to draw his attention. I can see Nolan doing something crazy (something like in Birdman) that blurs the line between the play within a play being performed, the actual play that is backstage of the play within a play and how the audience perspective can be messed with based on that. The play itself also lends itself to the tryptich structure of Dunkirk as each act of the play is the same events told from different perspectives.
3. It's a decidedly British story, after Dunkirk, we know how much pride Nolan takes in being a Brit.
