Victoria Lowe

Adapting Performance Between Stage and Screen (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this refreshing and original book, Victoria Lowe discusses adaptations between theatre and film, and establishes a framework for considering these as distinct from literary adaptation. The book places emphasis on performance and event, and opens up new avenues of exploration to include non-literary issues such as the treatment of space and place, mise en scène, acting styles and star personas. Lowe examines the 'events' of theatre and cinema, analysing phenomena such as NT Live for the different ways that 'liveness' is adapted.

Case studies of distinct periods in British film and theatre history are used to demonstrate that adaptations cannot be divorced from the historical and cultural moment in which they are produced and to look at issues around theatrical naturalism and cinematic realism. Adapting Performance Between Stage and Screen explores how cultural values can be articulated in the act of translating between mediums.
