Adaptation in Theatre and Performance Series editors Vicky Angelaki Department of Film, Theatre & Television University of Reading Reading, UK Kara Reilly Department of Drama University of Exeter Exeter, UK
The series addresses the various ways in which adaptation boldly takes on the contemporary context, working to rationalise it in dialogue with the past and involving the audience in a shared discourse with narratives that form part of our artistic and literary but also social and historical constitution. We approach this form of representation as a way of responding and adapting to the conditions, challenges, aspirations and points of reference at a particular historical moment, fostering a bond between theatre and society.
