Stefania Taviano

Staging Dario Fo and Franca Rame (eBook, PDF)

Anglo-American Approaches to Political Theatre

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first extended treatment of the English translations, staging, and reception of the political plays of Dario Fo and Franca Rame. Stefania Taviano offers a critique of the cultural stereotyping and political conservatism that have pursued these playwrights in translation and argues for the possibility of remaining true to Fo and Rame's political commitment while preserving the comic nature of their plays. Taviano shows how the choices made by the translators and stagers of Fo and Rame's political theatre reveal attitudes toward foreign cultures and theatre generally and Italy in particular.

Rezensionen

'The excellent discussion of American productions raise issues which transcend all geographical limitations, and these pages will be of value to anyone interested in questions of translation/adaptation, and of the risks inherent in altering dialogue, character, setting, or plot, even if the intention is to make the play more relevant to spectators.'
