Taylor & Francis Shakespeare and the Problem of Adaptation
Book Synopsis'Kidnie's study presents original, sophisticated, and profoundly intelligent answers to important questions.' - Lukas Erne, University of Geneva'This is a fine and productive book, one that will surely draw significant attention and commentary well beyond the precincts of Shakespeare studies.' - W.B. Worthen, Columbia UniversityShakespeareâs plays continue to be circulated on a massive scale in a variety of guises â as editions, performances, and adaptations â and it is by means of such mediation that we come to know his drama. Shakespeare and the Problem of Adaptation addresses fundamental questions about this process of mediation, making use of the fraught category of adaptation to explore how we currently understand the Shakespearean work. To adapt implies there exists something to alter, but what constitutes the category of the âplayâ, and how does it relate to adaptation? How do âplayâ and âadaptationâ relate to dramaâs twin media, text and performance? What impact might answers to these questions have on current editorial, performance, and adaptation studies? Margaret Jane Kidnie argues that âplayâ and âadaptationâ are provisional categories - mutually dependent processes that evolve over time in accordance with the needs of users. This theoretical argument about the identity of works and the nature of text and performance is pursued in relation to diverse examples, including theatrical productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company, the BBCâs ShakespeaRe-Told, the Reduced Shakespeare Company, and recent print editions of the complete works. These new readings build up a persuasive picture of the cultural and intellectual processes that determine how the authentically Shakespearean is distinguished from the fraudulent and adaptive. Adaptation thus emerges as the conceptually necessary but culturally problematic category that results from partial or occasional failures to recognize a shifting work in its textual-theatrical instance.Trade Review'Kidnie's study presents original, sophisticated and profoundly intelligent answers to important questions. Its scope is ambitious and requires a set of skills which few Shakespearean scholars possess: unusually, Kidnie is as much at home in performance studies and in textual studies; she is keenly attuned to the practicalities of actual performances as well as to the theorization of performancel she is incisive on political issues relating to contemporary dramatic writings as on the questions of how media impact the production of Shakespeare.' - English StudiesTable of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction; Chapter 2 Surviving performance; Chapter 3 Defining the work through production, or what adaptation is not; Chapter 4 Entangled in the present; Chapter 5 Adapting media; Chapter 6 Textual origins;

Taylor & Francis How to do Shakespeare
Book Synopsis'Adrian Noble vigorously highlights the extraordinary rhythmic, linguistic patterns Shakespeare gives the speaker. Any actor will find this book invaluable. For any student of Shakespeare it should be essential.' (From the Foreword by Ralph Fiennes)'How can I bring the text alive, make it vivid, how do I make people hear it for the first time? How can I enter into that world and not feel a stranger. How can I not feel clumsy and inept? ... How can I speak it without sounding artificial or actory? In other words, how can I make it real ...?'Adrian Noble has worked on Shakespeare with everyone from oscar-nominated actors to groups of schoolchildren. Here he draws on several decades of top-level directing experience to shed new light on how to bring some of theatreâs seminal texts to life.He shows you how to approach the perennial issues of performing Shakespeare, including: wordplay â using colour and playing plain, wit and comedy, making language muscTrade Review'Noble, who has worked with Kenneth Branagh and Ralph Fiennes, achieves a winning mix of the theoretical and the practical' - WhatsOnStage.com Table of ContentsPart 1 - Principles 1.
