This book examines contemporary approaches to adaptation in theatre through seventeen international case studies. It explores?company and directorial approaches to adaptation through analysis of the work of Kneehigh, Mabou Mines, Robert Le Page and Katie Mitchell. It then moves on to look at?the transformation of the novel onto the stage in the work of Mitchell, and in The Red Badge of Courage, The Kite Runner, Anne Frank, and Fanny Hill. Next, it examines?contemporary radical adaptations of Trojan Women and The Iliad.?Finally, it looks at five different approaches to postmodern metatheatrical adaptation in early modern texts of Hamlet, The Changeling, and Faustus, as well as the work of the Neo-Futurists, and the mash-up Medea/Macbeth/Cinderella. Overall, this comprehensive?study offers insights into key productions, ideas about approaches to adaptation, and current debates on fidelity, postmodernism and remediation.
