Beskrivning

This book examines the radical reinterpretation of precursor texts and prompts as an innovative form of adaptation for the stage. This volume considers a range of case studies, from the work of Alexandru Tocilescu to Rimini Protokoll, and is vital reading for those interested in adaptation studies and forms of contemporary theatre practice.
