Question...

This is my guess, based on various published playscripts.

examples:

The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, by Herman Wouk, based on his novel, "The Caine Mutiny"

Big River: the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Book by William Hauptman, Adapted from the novel by Mark Twain

The Desperate Hours, by Joseph Hayes, Based on the novel by Joseph Hayes

so,

He Stoops to Bonk Her, a play in three acts, by Jane Doe, based on a story by Jane Doe and John Smith
