{"product_id":"9783030929923","title":"Sinophone Adaptations of Shakespeare","description":"Shakespeare’s tragedies have been performed in the Sinophone world for over two centuries. Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear are three of the most frequently adapted plays. They have been re-imagined as political theatre, comedic parody, Chinese opera, avant-garde theatre, and experimental theatre in Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan. This ground-breaking anthology features the first English translations of seven influential adaptations from 1987 to 2007 across a number of traditional and modern performance genres in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Taipei. Each of the book's three sections offers a pair of two contrasting versions of each tragedy - in two distinct genres - for comparative analysis. This anthology is an indispensable tool for the teaching and research of Sinophone theatre's engagement with Western classics in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.   ","brand":"Alexa Alice Joubin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47645516431678,"sku":"9783030929923","price":6180.86,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9783030929923.jpg?v=1707700720","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9783030929923","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
