reading plays vs. watching them

Similarly to discussions of whether listening to audiobooks counts as reading (consensus seems to be that is does 🙌), I've been wondering if watching a play counts as reading it as well? Curious to hear everyone's opinions on this! Additional discussion questions: Does it only count for specific plays? How faithful do you feel the production needs to be? Does every line need to be spoken, and if so, does this change your perception of watching it counting as reading it? What about movie productions of a play?
