Stage-Play and Screen-Play

<p>Dialogue between film and theatre studies is frequently hampered by the lack of a shared vocabulary. <i>Stage-Play and Screen-Play </i>sets out to remedy this mapping out an intermedial space in which both film and theatre might be examined. </p><p>Each chapter's evaluation of the processes and products of stage-to-screen and screen-to-stage transfer is grounded in relevant applied contexts. Michael Ingham draws upon the growing field of adaptation studies to present case studies ranging from Martin McDonagh's <i>The Cripple of Inishmaan</i> and RSC Live's simulcast of <i>Richard II</i> to F.W. Murnau's silent <i>Tartüff</i> <i> </i>Peter Bogdanovich's film adaptation of Michael Frayn's <i>Noises Off </i>and Akiro Kurosawa's <i>Ran</i> highlighting the multiple interfaces between media. </p><p>Offering a fresh insight into the ways in which film and theatre communicate dramatic performances this volume is a must-read for students and scholars of stage and screen.</p>
