Description de l'ouvrage :
Provides a new foundation for discussions about theater, film, and translations between the two mediums.
Adapting Performance Between Stage and Screen provides an introduction to adaptations between theater and film, establishing a framework for considering these as distinct from literary adaptation. The book places emphasis on performance and event, opening new avenues of exploration to include non-literary issues such as the treatment of space and place, mis en scène, acting styles, and star personas. The recent growth of digital theater is examined to foreground the “events” of theater and cinema—largely ignored in adaptation studies—with phenomena such as National Theatre Live analyzed for the different ways that “liveness” is adapted.
Drawing from case studies that explore distinct periods in British film and theater history, the volume looks at issues surrounding theatrical naturalism and cinematic realism and illustrates the principle that adaptations can't be divorced from the historical and cultural moment in which they are produced. Adapting Performance Between Stage and Screen explores how cultural values can be articulated in the act of translating between media, providing a new framework for the discussion of theater and film as dramatic works.
À propos de l'auteur :
Victoria Lowe is a lecturer in drama and screen studies at the University of Manchester. Her research interests include stage/screen adaptation, theatricality in the cinema, intermediality, screen acting, and stardom and the voice in cinema.
Revue de Presse :
"Building productively on previous scholarship while also taking adaptation studies in fruitful new directions, Adapting Performance between Stage and Screen offers an accessible and incisive consideration of its topic. Lowe confidently navigates the many permutations of the relationship between cinema and theatre and meticulously explores how this has played out in the particularly intertwined British variation on the theme. Very worthwhile reading for anyone interested in British film, British theatre and their deep interconnectivity, this is a performance that definitely deserves its own round of applause."
