1. Adapting Greek Tragedy
A concise study of how ancient tragic dramas are reimagined for contemporary stages and screens, it investigates the artistic, cultural, and political dynamics of adaptation—from translation and dramaturgy to radical rewritings. Through a range of case studies across different media and performance traditions, it considers issues of fidelity, intertextuality, and audience reception. The book shows how creators use canonical myths to confront modern concerns such as identity, gender, power, and collective trauma, while probing the productive tensions between tradition and innovation.
