Also, it's "grammatically". "Grammarly" is the name of a website/app– KevinCommented Apr 27, 2020 at 20:16

The grammar isn't wrong, but some words that shouldn't be are capitalized within sentences. I think the word "adapt" might fit better than "adopt". The first sentence is a little rambling with three independent clauses. I suggest some changes:
We are an Italian independent art group, and we want to adapt one of Mr. McDonagh's plays into a screenplay to make a short film. What should we do to get Mr. McDonagh's permission?

@MichaelHarvey That works grammatically, but it leaves open the possibility that the screenplay is the endpoint. Commented Apr 28, 2020 at 6:46

it's a possibility, but I don't think it would be the majority interpretation. Commented Apr 28, 2020 at 7:04
