About this book
Reviews
“The [book] supply useful indices and are edited to high academic Standards … . They can be wholeheartedly recommended and testify to the vibrancy of adaptation studies way beyond the traditional novel-into-film model.” (Eckart Voigts, Journal of Contemporary Drama in English, Vol. 8 (2), 2020)
“The focus on theatre in many variant forms and contexts in Contemporary Approaches to Adaptation is both fresh and energising. The astutely organised material gives us insight into the creative and collaborative process and serves as critical provocation. In the process of this volume we see adaptation at the heart of the devising, rehearsal and performance contexts and we engage with an impressively wide-ranging, and indeed global, group of theatre directors, companies and audiences in the process. Exploratory and experimental but always political and ethical in its stance on adaptation as a collective labour, this volume provides new frameworks for debate and practice in adaptation studies.” (Julie Sanders, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Newcastle University, UK)“Kara Reilly's carefully crafted and thought-provoking book is a welcome addition to the debate on stage adaptations. The volume captures a wide variety of theatrical and scholarly approaches and is set to become a must-read in the field.” (Margherita Laera, Lecturer in Drama and Theatre, University of Kent, UK)
