This volume’s contributions explore a vast body of plays from all corners of the English-speaking world that adapt past forms, past texts and/or past myths. As they uncover theatre’s capacity to adapt to or resist socio-cultural changes, all the articles in this volume explore how adaptation aims at bridging gaps between distant time periods, geographical spaces, cultural and linguistic differences, and participate ine the creation of a community of audiences, united in their enjoyment of the reiteration of a well-known word of art. Included in this issue, two interviews of artists, British director Joe Douglas and Indian playwright Koumarane Valavane, are a token of the variety of standpoints from wich aesthetics and political questions are asked - whether to adapt a text to the contemporary stage, why, how, where and for whoù. The volume also includes a short story and a play as yet unpublished by Koumarane Valvane, the RADAC’s Master’s Prize and a book review. mer., 20 août 2025 15:18:37 +0200 lun., 13 juil. 2026 10:31:27 +0200 http://www.peren-revues.fr/coupdetheatre/846 http://www.peren-revues.fr/coupdetheatre/563 This volume means to turn the spotlight on a genre that used to be coterminous with drama originally but is now considered as just a branch of it, and not a popular one at that, namely verse drama. The contributors show the wide range of dramatic possibilities opened by the use of verse on stage, from Yeats and Gordon Craig to T.S. Eliot and Tony Harrison to Peter Oswald, Derek Walcott and Emmet Kirwan. The volume also features a statement by Patxo Tellería, a Castilian playwright and author of Pancréas (2015), as well as a translation of Glyn Maxwell’s Best Man Speech (2014), a monologue in verse first performed at the Edinburgh Festival. Finally, the volume includes a short version of Saraé Durest’s annotated translation of Caryl Churchill’s The Skriker (1994), awarded the first RADAC prize for outstanding Master’s dissertation. lun., 27 janv. 2025 10:14:54 +0100 lun., 13 juil. 2026 13:46:29 +0200 http://www.peren-revues.fr/coupdetheatre/563
